I am very wary of that because I have given cards in the past to the temple for them to do and they never got done and appear now in nfs as "ready" Those of us who are retired and spend a great deal of time on nfs (at least 40 hours per week) do a lot of names and assign them to the temple. The names I do are all usually born well before 1880, are all collateral relatives and there should be no problem with conflicts. When one has 19 direct ancestors who were Utah pioneers and you are supposed to do family history, that is about all I can do.

Let me give you a little different perspective. Say you do the research, correct the records and clean up the things in new FamilySearch, but don't submit every name you find "Ready" in NFS. Think of the other family members who are just starting to use NFS, or youth who wants to do baptisms for the dead, or family members who have been challenged by their Bishops to find a name this year. What if you left those available for someone else to find and do themselves? Just last night I taught a class to a ward council, their counselors, the bishopric, High Priest Group Leadership and family history consultants in a ward. As they were each at a computer in a high school computer lab, many of them logged in for the very first time to NFS. You should have seen the excitement as the young Bishop found four family members in his direct line that needed to have some ordinances completed. He stood up celebrating the fact that this was the first time in his life he had done any family history, the rest of the ward members clapped for him. I am sure that he will share this experience with the rest of his ward members and lead by example just as outlined in the new Leader's Guide. Several others found names that someone else had researched and added to NFS and they were able to feel the joy of reserving them for themselves and now they will have the opportunity to go to the temple and do ordinances for their own family members for the very first time. I realize it is hard to let those green arrows go and not reserve every name we see, but I think it is important to share. We need not worry that they will never get done if we don't do them right now, because there will be a provision for that in the future.

I use Family Insights and I can pick and choose what I want to have the done by the temple and it is very easy to use. Everything is done at one time. You can choose all ordinances for a person or specific ones with just one click of the button. I have hundreds of names that I am working on at one time and Family Insights makes life so much simplier.
