	As Titus has mentioned (and I think someone else has told me on here a while back) when you become a Mormon I understand that they ask for details of your ancestors back 3 or four generations so they can do a "latter-day" conversion of these people into the Mormon church. Apparently, it doesn't matter if this information is accurate or if you've pulled names out of clean air, they just want names to add to their church, so I understand it. I did contemplate adding my research to their site, but was put off by hearing that, especially when I think how staunch a Catholic my late gran, for instance, was. I think she would be spinning in her grave to think people did that. To me, it seems a bit of an insult to the faiths my dead ancestors would have practiced, even if they are no longer here.
