Bringing Names to the Temple

Post from Becky: If you read the beckycrocker blog last week, you'll know that I went to the Family History library in Salt Lake a week ago. I was using new.familysearch.org and I want to reiterate again how remarkable this new program is! I started with myself and progressively went back in time until I found some names that had the bright yellow caution sign by them. That means they have temple work that needs to be done! I found children of our great-great-great grandfather and grandmother, John Clarke and Bridget. There were 5 girls and 2 boys. It is so easy to prepare the names for the temple, too. If you find them on new.familysearch.org, you just click on a print report form button, take the form to the temple, have them print out the cards there and they are ready to have the temple work done for them! I sent the cards with the ward on a "Baptisms Only Ward Temple Trip" last Wednesday for members to do the baptism/confirmation work, and I will begin taking the women through the other temple ordinances now, and find some gentlemen to help me complete the mens' names. Unless, of course, I hear from one of you who would like to do their work! Let me know. And check out new.familysearch.org. I can tell on the website that Aunt Connie has been working there, too. Join the fun!

  1. Word of caution. Make sure you are combining all possible duplicated before processing names for temple work. Just because the yellow flag is there doesn't mean the work hasn't already been done.
