We are doing this in our stake. After completing ordinances, we are instructed to enter the information onto a stake website. We are also encouraged to enter in any thoughts or feelings we may have about having the ordinance performed, or during researching the person. I haven't asked the stake president to see how many names have been completed. I am hoping it will generate more interest in family history and more temple attendance.
