Why are the Pedigree Resource File CDs so cheap?
They are so cheap because the LDS Church does not make a profit from their sale. The LDS Church is a nonprofit organization. Besides, they want to make it as easy as possible for members and others the world over to gain access to family history data no matter in what form it is. While most CD products range from $20 to $50 each US, the LDS Church charges only what it costs to manufacture and package the CDs. Right now, it comes in at about $6 to do this.
