Why does someone manually add a living person's name to nfs? In the case of trying to be able to see and connect a branch past a living person (LDS or not)? Creating a dummy/placeholder person which you know will be, or already is, a duplicate individual - so that you can get past that living generation? If you don't do that then what is the right way to be able to go on and do the researching and making the connections? I am not saying, Going ahead and doing the ordinance work, just doing the research. But if you put in enough information the status turns to Ready - then is that person's ordinance work fair game? Especially after 110 years? Is that so that the person themselves is surely deceased, as well as the other people in the Order of Permissions, too? USACPBS Unremarried Spouse, Adult Child, Parents, Brother or Sister.... What about grandchildren? The point is to consider family sensitivities - it is an opportunity to communicate, to collaborate on research, and encourage things to be done in the Lord's order - encouraging us all to turn to the Lord, not giving occaision to take offense. -- Volunteer - Help Index the 1940 US Census https://www.familysearch.org/1940Census I'm a Cousin - are you? http://www.LostCousins.com<http://www.lostcousins.com/> Ring Johnson Hibbard Jones Loomis Cousins Morton Wait Lewis Watkins Cushley Clark Wheeler Macatee Duncan Litzinger Ault Cross Ortman Baker Middleton Yarnell Blades Smith Schofield Wooley McVey Eubank Rohrer Ruble Ruse https://sites.google.com/site/damarisfish2/ When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will know peace.
