I believe Jill Crandell had written about this problem sometime ago. The thought then was to program data to flow in both directions but apparently that is not as easy to do as it sounds as I do not believe that it has happened. More blessings of patience to be received by us.

While working through my personal families on NFS, I found that one family for whom I had a temple-completed group sheet did not even appear on NFS. I tried to find them in several different ways and finally went to the IGI where they appeared as "cleared." The temple work was completed in August and September of 2008 (originally submitted through Temple Ready and completed AFTER we went to NFS), so I took the stamped pink and blue cards to the temple recorder and asked him why they didn't show up on NFS at all. He worked on it, called SLC and reported this to me. 1. The names were originally cleared on Temple Ready before we went to NFS. 2. The temple data has not been included in either NFS or nor has it been updated on the IGI. 3. TempleReady data had not been updated to the IGI. 4. NFS had not been updated with data from the IGI for some time. It appears that all the temple work being completed in not NFS temples is not being currently added to NFS....and any work originally submitted through Temple Ready is also not appearing. This is causing MORE duplication. Isn't this why we went to NFS in the first place....to avoid duplication??? We all know that Temple Ready was (and continues to) creating monstrous duplication because the comparative database was never updated from about 1999 IGI. This is probably even more problematic because during the last ten years there has been an explosion of internet available research sources (including those of the church) which has caused an explosion in temple work. I do not understand why it is not a priority to keep NFS updated with the completed temple work from all those very busy Wasatch Front temples still on Temple Ready plus Cards like mine which were originally submitted through TempleReady to current NFS Temples. So, if SLC wants to avoid duplication PLEASE update NFS with Temple Ready process names more frequently than once a year!!!!
