In this case, my friend has birth and death dates and places for both events and they are in place on NFS. Whoever submitted the info gave the grandmother's surname as the adopted name, not the birth name, so they don't know as much as she does about the family. That's not the hold up. There does seem to be a holdup in that Church Membership office doesn't recognize the name as anybody in their records. So how it got reserved and by whom remains a mystery now for over a year. It sure reminds me to only reserve for myself & my family what we can reasonably do in a given period of time, so that if there's somebody out there concerned about somebody on my reserved list, they can see progress, even if not as fast as they might personally like.

I am on the system, but things were put in my reserved list that I didn't put there from earlier TempleReady submissions. They are people whose information is not complete enough to do the work, yet they are in my file. There they sit, with no way to get rid of them other than to do the work or release it to the temple to do the work. They aren't ready to be done, so it has been "two years" that they have been reserved with "nothing happening." The difference on this one is that my contact information is there. If this person isn't on the system yet, they haven't had a chance to claim their submissions and provide contact information. They may not even know that these are in their holding file if the names came from an earlier TempleReady submission. They could also be ordinances that have been completed, but something happened on the recording. This person may believe that they are all done, but without seeing that they are still reserved, they wouldn't know yet to resolve the issue. I can think of all kinds of scenarios that this person could be totally innocent of "sitting on names," when that may not be what is actually happening. We're still in transition folks. I plead for patience with others, because I need people to have patience with me as well! :-) Have a good day, Jill Crandell Please send the one word message SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE to LDS-WARD-CONSULTANT-L-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LDS-WARD-CONSULTANT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message **************Dell Days of Deals!
