In my case, it is triple whammy. This extends to my step fathers and step-mothers because I have sisters by my mother and sisters and brother by my father so that multipled my work to the tune of 6 lines.

Janet, Here is a piece for Appendix D part of the new Family Search user guide issued Feb 2009 This should answer your question Janet Ballingham For Whom Should I Do Temple Ordinances? Church members are responsible to provide temple ordinances for immediate family members and direct-line ancestors (parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., and their families). Ordinances can be provided without regard to worthiness, mental ability, or cause of death. Can I Do Ordinances for People Who Are Not in My Immediate Family or Direct Family Line? Church members may provide temple ordinances for the following individuals who have been deceased at least one year. • Biological, adoptive, and foster family lines connected to their family. • Collateral family lines (uncles, aunts, cousins, and their families). • Descendants. New FamilySearch: User’s Guide © 2007, 2009 IRI 161 • Descendants of direct-line ancestors and their families. • Possible ancestors. These are individuals who have a probable family relationship that cannot be verified because the records are inadequate. These may include individuals who had the same last name and resided in the same small geographic areas as known ancestors. • Close friends. This is an exception to the rule that members should submit only the names of individuals of their own family and ancestors. Before performing ordinances for a friend, a member should obtain permission from the individual’s closest living relative. What Ordinances Should I Not Do? Church members should not submit individuals that they are not related to (with the exception of close friends). This includes: • Famous people. • Those gathered from unapproved extraction projects. • Jewish Holocaust victims. Members cannot do the ordinances for these people except under the following conditions: - They are an immediate family member of the deceased (defined as parents, spouse, or children), or - They have permission of all living immediate family members, or - They have the permission of the closest living relative if no immediate family members are living. -----Original Message----- From: lds-ward-consultant-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:lds-ward-consultant-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Janet Nielsen Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 11:58 AM To: lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com Subject: [LDS-WC] (no subject) I just finished reading the book God's Greatest Gift by Theodore M.

You can't. Sometimes the same trees are on RootswebWorld Connect. _http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi_ (http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi) Otherwise, you have to collaborate with the person who submitted it...or print it out page by page which still is time consuming.

I've been looking at a record for James HULME Christened 7 Feb 1784 in Dukinfield, Cheshire, England. Looking at his ordinances I've found this - Sealed to parents: 30 Jan 1889 SGEORG - Pres Willard Richards I'm a bit puzzled - can anyone explain why this might be please?

If I am not mistaken, for a certain period members were sealed to Church leaders. Only later was it revealed that we should be sealed to our own parents and so on, and that we should research our own genealogies and extend the blessings of temple work to our own ancestors -- instead of just being sealed to some righteous leaders and turning our backs to our ancestors. Of course there is more to it than I can express in three lines, but that's the main idea to answer your question, I believe. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Claire 1" <brer25@hotmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 3:18 PM To: <lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com> Subject: [LDS-WC] Confuddled - Willard Richards as a parent? > > I've been looking at a record for James HULME Christened 7 Feb 1784 in > Dukinfield, Cheshire, England.

Yes, you're very correct. My ggggrandfather, William F. Rigby, was sealed to Brigham Young and his wife Zina, as his parents because his biological parents were never married. Later, the family has had him sealed to his biological parents. And often girls who had died without marrying were sealed to living men. A lot of my male ancestors are sealed to women they never met, sisters of their living wife for example, who died years before. This practice makes my new family search tree into a real nightmare.

I have done some work in homes. An advantage of this is that working with one sister who knows very little about FH but has a strong Temple testimony, she can go and search for information while we have the program runnning. As we find information online, she can add it immediately into he own personal records.

Some libraries make the stipulation that all classes must be open to anyone. This means that teaching nfs may not be appropriate for that venue at this time, as nonmembers (unless they work at the FHC) can't access the data base.

Hi, what nFS stats are available to me as an assistant FHC director? Terry in South Africa

I produced a new set of manuals last month. You can find them at http://milesmeyer.googlepages.com/lessonmanuals. There are three new manuals there to look at. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

With the implementation of nFS, I find that getting members (eg other SS & primary teachers) temporarily released from their callings to learn a) how to do research b) how to use research software eg PAF c) how to use nFS for temple submission is getting quite difficult. How are you guys splitting/setting up your SS classes? We are a small ward and trying to get just the married couples to attend, never mind their more techie minded teenagers, is nigh impossible. Secondly, once someone has been through some education, how do you keep them hooked? Terry in South Africa

Well, what if you just want to know -- not for reporting purposes but for other reasons, say, to measure how much stake members are using nFS from home and clearing names from home. Is there anything available? -------------------------------------------------- From: "David" <pskd1@cox.net> Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 3:38 PM To: <lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] Stats question [Ans.?] > Terry, > I believe the only stats you get are what you are able to generate > from within your own center. > With the change in focus for family history to the ward High Priest > group leaders and the fact that the members do not have to clear names > through temple ready at a family history center that part of our reporting > responsibility is no more.
