No matter how many times you try to tell them to "look at the church records!!," they won't change their minds! ACK!!

In your experience, how accurate is familysearch.com? I want to trust the LDS records because they've been doing it for so long but I have my doubts. My great great grandfather has unique first and last name. He first lived in MO then IL after he imigrated. But they also have same first/last name w/ a middle initial who moved to NY after IL. There's a 16 year age difference but the birth place listed for the middle initial guy is where I know my g-g-grandpa was born. Tiny town, impossible to spell or say, in Bavaria. I can't decide if it's a likely cousin or inputer error.
It's annoying!
