MORMONS DATABASE HUGE
Many are second- or third-generation Americans, meaning
their heritages go back to a foreign country after about
100 years. Then they have to go to their ancestor’s country
of origin to find the rest of their family records. Many records
can be found on the Mormons website familysearch.
org, which is an astounding mission that attempts to preserve
every family’s history. The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints offers access to its database of billions
of records archived from countries around the world. The
records are public and available to anyone.
Fodi and Giltman emphatically stress that these tools
really do bring results. Fodi has helped her husband,
Joe, a retired tooling inspector for Piper Aircraft in Vero
Beach, complete his genealogy, which goes back to the
early 1700s. This came about largely through DNA testing
and FamilySearch. By posting a message on Ancestry,
they recently found a relative who, “believed there were
no other relatives in the whole world — when in fact
there was this huge family she didn’t know about,” Fodi
said. “Now my husband is in contact and they fill in
pieces for each other. It’s like a huge puzzle. It’s fun and
interesting.”
Giltman recently connected her husband, Larry, a
retired pathologist, with his first cousin in Germany and
they’ve just begun exchanging information and photos.
Some photos are still unidentified and won’t be added to
the family tree program until they are positive of the relationship.
Fodi explains that if you find pictures of family
on an old postcard, dates can be narrowed to around 1915
to 1920 when postcards first became popular.
