The female names get done very quickly (ahem) :-) Too bad there are no longer "Priesthood Days" at the temple where they just to do catch up on males ordinances!

Many of us can use help because the family tree is showing a harvest faster than we can personally process it. While that is good from many stand points, it also creates a back log of material that people are waiting to have done. Is there in an answer to the problem? Not unless we really start encouraging people to attend the Temple at least once a month, and more often if they live closer (like right across town). So, I guess it's good more people are submitting names so that there's a backlog, but when it's our names on the back log, it's frustrating.
