Yes, there may be two sets of guidelines in process. This issue can cause a lot of situations which may be stressful for all of us. As for children who died without given names, New FamilySearch does not add "Miss" or "Mr" to a surname as was done at the temples with TempleReady. (A couple of weeks ago, I proposed that NFS did add "Miss" and "Mr" but discovered that the explanation is on the website for unnamed children. Some of you were kind enough to document where the information was on the website.) Bear with me if it seems I digress for a moment. I remember when the Scouting handbook was over 10 years old and really not helpful. We asked regularly when there would be a new Scouting handbook and were told that the Church was creating a general handbook which included all the smaller handbooks. So there would be no new scouting handbook published at that time. Many of us involved with scouting waited a long time for the book to come out. We had to use bulletins and all sorts of other information to have the most current resources. We depended on stake leaders (Stake Presidency, Stake Young Men Presidency, Stake Primary Presidency, etc.) to know what was happening. People would have to ask the scouting department of the Church a lot of questions because of the conflicts. It was such a relief when the new handbooks all came out under the umbrella of the priesthood manuals. Back to family history. Since the Church authorizes the New FamilySearch as the acceptable process for clearing temple ordinances, then we need to accept the manuals, overviews, and handbooks on the website. The information can change quickly and be posted on the website. (This is not true of publications of handbooks.) There is an immediacy in the NFS Help Center which some may find interesting and helpful but others will find frustrating. Consultants for the most part do not have access to the main priesthood manual for the Temples. We just don't see it -- ever. We would have to ask a recorder or a temple presidency member to look something up for us. (There are a few of you on our consultant email list who are exceptions but you truly are the exceptions.) Sometimes information is also interpreted differently by various priesthood leaders. This can also cause confusion. Consultants will find it difficult to do their callings if they have to read all the guidelines on New FamilySearch (plus the NFS manual and the Members Guide) and then have to go to the temple presidents or other priesthood leaders for further enlightenment. Family History is hard enough without throwing obstacles in the way for every consultant and member. Obstacles hamper the work and dampen the enthusiasm. We believe that our Church is based on revelation so policies and guidelines change -- sometimes dramatically and sometimes very quickly. This is why I believe we have to follow the guidelines, etc. on the website for New FamilySearch. We can't be hanging on to obsolete rules or traditions. If the Church now wants us to use "son" and "daughter" that should be good enough for all of us. If necessary, we can take a printout to the temple when we turn in children with "son" and "daughter" in place of their given names. When the temple has a question about our submission, the staff can read our printout and then they can call the Temple Department for clarification. Temple leaders seem to have a fast track to access with the Temple Department. I am sorry if I sound passionate but I believe in using the most current information. Surely New FamilySearch's Help Center is the most current resource for family history consultants. Mary Scott Northville Ward Westland Michigan Stake P.S. By the way, on the Dutch website, GenLias, unnamed children are marked "NN" for "no name". I prefer son and daughter over being named "NN".
