Some of them still have hundreds of copies in FSFT.

For example, which of the Mayflower passengers have temple work done for all of their descendants down to 1904? I doubt any of them do.Nathan Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335989842820672777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793782800729950147.post-76289445563860596772014-10-11T16:20:25.626-07:002014-10-11T16:20:25.626-07:00Thanks.

We cannot automatically assume that youth possess either the knowledge or disposition to do valuable genealogical research.

You're points are well stated and great food for thought. What's the answer? I'm not sure, but the discussion should be explored more.
