In 1982, Jukka Rislakki, coauthor of the 1978 book on the CIA, published a book on espionage in Finland, claiming that the Mormons “have long had solid ties to intelligence services.” According to Rislakki, many of the young missionaries in Finland had had military officer training and the leader of international Mormon missionary work (by whom he meant Apostle Neal A. Maxwell) was a former CIA employee. Rislakki found interesting the microfilmed registers stored in the Church’s genealogical archives containing information on about one billion people. He mentioned how an article in the German magazine Der Spiegel said that the CIA had been interested in the archive in order to find ancestors of eastern European immigrants to the United States who may have been Communist. He did not note the apparent incongruence of covert Mormon-government connections and the fact that the Mormons apparently openly acknowledged that the CIA had researched in its publicly available archive.
