    1. [LDS-WC] Work Done for Living
    2. Nancy Scott
    3. This past Sunday, I was helping a Sister in my Ward with some problems she has encountered of a possible distant relative who put in data for the family of the Sister's nonmember husband into nFS. I say possible distant relative because the submitter will not respond to our emails to her and when I called the phone number listed the person I talked to said that the person I was looking had moved from their house and that she did not have a new phone number for her. In particular, the Sister I was helping was concerned about the information given for her husband who was born in 1948 but is listed as born in 1935. It seemed strange because the print for him was dark and not in italics so I took a look the LDS ordinances. Sure enough the work had been completed in 2011. Five of his siblings had also had their ordinances completed which the Sister I was helping says that they are all living. We used Feedback to submit a case regarding the problem but the last I heard from her, she had not received a reply. The strangest thing about all of it that puzzles me is that there was nothing in the death fields but still the work had been done. There are 2 Contributors, the submitter and FamilySearch. The PIDs are: LH2S-5WK LH2S-54W LH2S-54H LH2S-546 LH2S-54B LZF8-9H5 I am wondering if anyone in the group has an explanation of how this happened. I am still of the opinion that there needs to be something other than a checkbox for even the 110 guideline. It seems that members either don't read the message or they willfully ignore it. At least if they had to enter some data about how they were related or who they had permission from, when something was found it would be clear that they were willfully ignoring it. Nancy Scott

    3. Feedback has always been very responsive to me on a problem such as this where work has been done in error for living persons. I would suggest she check on the case and if it is closed re-open and re-submit. She can do this easily by viewing "My cases". It has happened when I have put in birth and christening dates it is very easy to put the christening date as the death date and get the work done in error. I guess the older you get the fewer brain cells you have. Anyway I have been able to get these easily corrected and out of nfs at least as showing dead and ready for ordinances.
