It is true that there is a GREAT deal of genealogical info available
here in SLC at the Mormon Genealogical Library.  The reason they are so
interested in this info is so that they can baptize their ancestors into
the church retroactively.  There are very few post-1900 records, since
many people born after 1900 are still living, and this would be an
invasion of privacy (or so the story goes). 

I'd like to take a moment here to plug the upcoming June Usenix
conference right here in SLC.  Come to Usenix and discover your roots!
