Because part of the program needs to be worked on, I think. I have found that to be true as well, and names that I have put in as the preferred names because they are more complete are passed over for abbreviations and incomplete names--perhaps because they were in the system first, or who knows. But I find it somewhat irritating myself to find that when I print things out, it isn't the way I had done the corrections to fit the actual facts and not some single record where the recorder hadn't had time or inclination to do the entire thing. I have been assured that the people in question know who they are, and the problems that show up in the records, or the sealer who insists on calling Byron as Bryan--and that stuff doesn't matter in the eternal scheme of things. But then, why we are told time after time to get things as accurate as possible if they don't matter is beyond me. I will continue to be obsessive-compulsive about my records and try to get things right, however. Karen In a message dated 5/1/2009 7:14:08 P.M.

I combined Eliza J. 94WF-HTM and Eliza Jane Brown KL67-82R. I thought when we combined records that the information would be all on the card. The Eliza Jane Brown was my person and I have her husband, and both parents. I have two combined numbers KL67-YQM and a 968Y-XWX I cannot remember now why I have these two numbers. Anyway when I printed the card it came out Eliza J. with no parents. I called SLC and was told the information is in NFS but go ahead and do the ordinances just as Eliza J. and for my records I can write Brown and her parents on the card when everything is completed. Question: Is there any way to get a card with Eliza Jane Brown and her parents or doesn't it matter? 2. I printed out two other sisters in another family. Their parents are in NFS and their ordinances are done and they are sealed together. The printed card does not show the parents and the block sealing to parents is blocked out. Why? 3. I have two brothers in another line. The parents are in NFS and are sealed. One brother's card printed out with parent's name the other did not. Why? 4. Another male card who's parents are in the database and ordinances done did not show the parents on the card and sealed to parents block is blocked out.
