If I can have my parents listed and visible to me - they are living and not members, it can be done.

>From the Help Center, question: How long do I need to wait until I do the temple work for a family member who recently died? Answer: TempleReady for Windows and the new Family Search will not clear a name on the one-year anniversary of the death date. Wait at least one year and one day to clear the name. Note: If this person is your sibling, parent, or child, you can take his or her name to the temple on a family group sheet, and workers at the temple can then clear the name for ordinances. If this isn't resolved between the ward member and her distant cousin so that the ward member can do her own mother's temple work, perhaps she can take the group sheet showing herself as a child to her parents and have it done this way. Still haven't found exactly what I was looking for.
