Knowledge Document 1012531 Shanna Jones -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karen Tippets Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 3:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] Requirements for Corrections While we're on the subject, I want to kick a female out of the family who was submitted by somebody whose email is no longer valid. She has a male name according to this person, but I have extensive info on the male by the same name in the family, and the marriage info is there, with the kids and appropriate temple work has been done. Am I going to have to put a dispute on her, or is there another way to remove the mythical female from the family since I can't contact the submitter? There's certainly no reason to waste time doing temple work for her.
