David brings up a good point. I have over 100 names on my "Reprint" list. Most of them have all their ordinances done but I can't get them off the list. In contacting Salt Lake about this, they told me to do all the combinations for each name and then try to print an FOR and the name would drop from the list. Not so. I have done that and a SL support person has done it and the names do not drop out of the list. This is a bug that needs to be resolved as it can cause duplication of ordinance work. All you have to do is click on the reprint button and you can reprint an FOR for the ordinances indicated for each name even though those ordinances are already completed and show in nfs. Also, it is taking me a lot of time to check each name to see that the ordinance work is done by combining duplications and trying to print the FOR while these names are not ones I want to be working on right now. ----- Original Message ----- From: W.

Hinckley became aware of the problem going back to late 1980s when there was a huge rush to have ordinances done without checking the IGI. I can tell you there were hundreds of my ancestors getting theirs ordinances done twice or more in just that 10 year span from 1983 to 1995. But this time limit one seems to be generally overlooked. They didn't overlook this one. It was brought up during the beta testing when I asked about this problem, this was 1 year before the rollout to first 5 temple districts. > I still don't think it's wrong to suggest that there should be a time > limit.

The serious problem right now is the conversions of family names in the rolled in temple districts. My friend has more than 150 of them in Oakland Temple. Once converted from old system, they can not be purged if duplicates are found in nFS and merged. Just STUCK in in that limbo. I am looking at the reprinted cards from that "Reprint Family Ordinance Requests and Family Ordinance Cards" and am seeing a lot that dated way before 2004. The hope is that the engineers have a way to dislodge them once reported instead of dragging. This is different from the FamilySearch Extraction Program where there are literally thousands of them slowly meandering through different temples as the backlogs are caught up until the rollout is complete and the gates open for the families to retrieve the extracted entries earlier to finish.
