Clicking on green arrows

My Great-grandmother, Mary Ann Linton Morgan, spent most of her adult
life completely involved in genealogy. Back in the early to mid 1900s
she used the limited resources she had available in Salt Lake City, Utah
combined with the U.S. Mail, to research thousands of individuals.
After inheriting her huge files, I spent another ten years or so
digitizing and entering all of the information into computer files.
Grandmother Morgan had three children before her husband died at a
relatively early age. She lived as a widow for 57 years. She died when I
was about six years old. And I should probably mention that her husband
was a General Authority in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints (to those of you who are not members of the Church, he was one of
the leaders of the Church).

Now, fast forward to 2010. I am certain that Grandmother Morgan is not just turning over in her grave,
she is likely spinning fast enough to melt metal. I am certain that she
would be totally appalled at the total lack of responsibility evidenced
by the submissions to New FamilySearch masquerading as genealogical
data coming out regularly in the files on New FamilySearch.
Just recently someone on New FamilySearch added another child to the
John Morgan/Mary Ann Linton Morgan family. They added a child named Mary
Ann Morgan who was born in 1888 in Acklington, Northumberland,
England. Did I mention that Mary Ann Morgan lived in Utah and Arizona
and never traveled to England? Did I further mention that John and Mary
Ann got married in 1888 in Logan, Utah? Did I also fail to mention that
Mary Ann only had three children, all boys?
