It is possible to submit ANYONE (related to you or not) through nFS. After he died, I entered Sir Edmund Hillary (the first man to climb Mt Everest) into nFS. No.. I am not related, and NO I will never submit his name for ordinance work. But I have verified that we do not have to be linked to those for whom we submit work. With nFS we can see who submitted the work and Church authorities can give corrections to things done incorrectly. Since the work was done for Obama's mother in TempleReady.. it's all a guessing game as to the motives behind this submission. Alan W.
