Michele, If you put up the "parents and spouses" view for the child and highlight his father's name, then click on the temple icon to the left of the father's name (slightly above his name), it will show you what temple work is completed and what is still needed for the entire family. [This is a good way to check each family, as I like to work on the entire family. Be aware that before you do this, you need to have checked each parent and child for duplicates. Also, as you check each child, make sure the parents' names do not appear a second time underneath the Spouse title beneath the mother's name, as I have had that happen and then pick up a duplicate record of parents. When I combine, sometimes the temple work is already done. The cleaning up of a family is serious business and requires checking everyone for duplication!] If you make sure the whole family is ready before you click that temple icon to the left of father's name, then you can click on your preference at the bottom (assign to temple or do work yourself), and any work not completed on that family will be done if the information is complete enough on each person. If not, it will say it's not available. What a wonderful feeling it is to see the check make before the icon, open it up and see "completed" for every individual in the family. You can then go back to the child and click him on as parent with his spouse, click the "family icon" to the left of his name and do the work for any uncompleted and eligible family members. It will not redo the child's work [now showing s father] if it has already been specified for temple work with his mother and father's family, but it will show as "Ready" if you have just done his father's family. The sealings will stay "on hold" until the proper sequence of temple ordinances is finished, but eventually they will be done if assigned to the temple. Sylvia York, PA I find that if I submit an individual as a child, then the sealing to their spouse is "on hold" until the individual ordinances are done. If I submit the same person as a parent, I can clear the sealing to spouse but the sealing to parents is on hold until the individual ordinances are done. It's frustrating and requires me to go back a second time (if I don't forget) and clear the second sealing. I wish they would clear both at the same time and assume we have common sense (and the temple as well) to see that baptisms and endowments are completed. Michele
