When I joined I dealt directly with the staff genealogist who went over my

 The same proof that is needed for most organizations of this type in

 for CD.  I seriously doubt that anyone has joined with "very little to no

 not as Gospel.  If your information comes from these sources you must
back
 it up with other info.
