Yeah Mormons keep extensive geneology records of everyone. Peoples in my family went to them to help compile the family tree and we aren't Mormon.
It is important to them because they believe that ancestors who haven't been baptised reside in heaven jail until someone is baptised for them and then they get into heaven proper (or get freed from heaven jail) - just in case that is an important distinction...
I did a google yesterday trying to find my old t. Couldn't find her :-( Dammit. Yeah I guess it is okay to look... It is public information. But then... Apparantly electrol rolls count as public information too (in NZ at any rate) and you can pay maybe 30 bucks to look at someones entry on the electrol roll. That is their address and their age and I think even their place of birth. IMO... While it is true that that is part of the public register I personally think it is a little invasive to pay 30 bucks to find out where someone was born...
I wasn't on the electoral roll for a number of years because I knew for a fact that debt collectors find peoples current addresses via the electoral roll...
(Oops please don't prosecute me)
I was on it last time around...
But that's because I knew I was moving on in a few months.
Generally speaking... I'm unhappy about the amount of info that is in the public domain.
So... I don't know.
I don't know.
