I really had a surprise yesterday. I helped one of our staff members at Ogden FHC sign up for NFS. We have just been given access, but I have had access for over a year. When he looked at his own record, he was shocked to find out that he was in the system twice, once as a live member and once (I presume as deceased; as his name was not in italics). There was no death date showing, and he was even more shocked to find out that someone whose code name he did not recognize had done his baptism; and his endowment was "in progress" even though he had done his own work years ago. This gentleman was in his mid 70's. Of course, we sent it on to through feedback for help from the programmers. Does anyone know if they can contact the person who is doing this and cancel the card that is made out? To me it really points out the importance of following the 95/110 rules we have been talking about and making sure to teach our people that when we do descendency research that we are careful about these rules.

That happpened to my cousin, too. And still very much living. Wasted no time using feedback to notify and even giving the support the phone number of cousin's daughter (she's over 80 years old) to contact to confirm. The information and ordinances were yanked from the nFS, leaving only information for her daughter who has access. The ordinances were by a distant cousin.

Absolutely about the 95/110 year rules. We all just have to slow down on the "Ready" signals or we will be producing more duplications than ever and in this case improper submissions. Kind of like the "paperless" computer idea where people just print more and faster. I am hoping that my Bishop will allow me to put an insert about the 95/110 rule into the bulletin on Father's Day. I spent a lot of time making up the insert with footnotes even. It fits 2 copies landscape on paper. Anyone interested in an attachment of it, I will send it to you offline.

Could it just be someone with the same name, or is there more overlapping data?
