COMMENTARY: On how to avoid unnecessary duplication
in record keeping, including family genealogy records with
fabricated data; or, unauthorized, unacceptable submission
of restricted databases.

This is horribly tiresome. Place the requirement for LDS members
or other extractors to put FIRST in any submitted records, all the
identified source(s), from basic oral to the finest primary source
documentation. Have the LDS Church data system sweep the
entry first for evidential justifications, from all known record
sources, worldwide. This database can be easily and quickly
established by stake (area) surveys, under priesthood authority.
(Eventually, as indexing and online records increase, one-to-one
matches will automatically be established by the clearing system.)

If the Society (FamilySearch.org) does not have the listed record
source(s), require witness submission validation and verification,
before going forward with any Temple processing. Millions, if not
billions, in time, effort and talent would be saved, and there would
be a final end, to this miserable, bad information merry-go-round.
The effective motto for a true record keeper should be:
" If you can't prove it, don't move it!"

Otherwise, time, talent, means, and productive life experiences,
as well as tithing for maintenance and upkeep of Temples; all
related library systems and storage use facilities, are constantly
being wasted. Isn't the right way always the very easy, very simple
way of the Lord? I have found this to be so in all of my own personal
experiences.
