I was working with a family last night where many of the children were sealed to parents in March 2009, but the endowments were not done yet. They were in process (or progress, whichver it is). The baptisms were done in 2007, I had those dates in my PAF files from the IGI, with the "in progress" notations also from the IGI. Two years later the endowments are still not done. I did notice that there were some Initiatories done recently, so I expect these are names that are being pulled in by the Temples, correct? The submitter is not on nFS, apparently. And some show the Extraction program as a source.
