Hello Many thanks for the replies. I want to submit some work to TempleReady and for the resulting entries into the IGI to be as complete and full as possible. When I take my PAF disc to the FHC and enter the names of a couple, is there any way I can make sure that the rest of the family will also be included? What I mean is, if I submit a person's name and spouse's name and their marriage, then I'd like any other researchers to be able to click on the "family" and see the couple's children listed. Will this automatically happen? Will TR pick up the children's names as well as the parents? The children of the couple I will be submitting have already had work done, yet the parents haven't. (done by extraction years ago). I'm wondering if TR will only pick up the actual couple and then the IGI won't show any connection to their children who are already on the IGI. Yet there is the facility on IGI next to a marriage entry to click on "family" (often it just says "no children") I hope this makes sense! ( ie. Is there any way I can use my PAF disc to enable TR to include the children's information yet not submit any work for them.) Thanks for any help Valerie

Hi Valerie. I am not an up-to-date expert on TempleReady, but in reading your questions, I have a sense that there might be a misunderstanding of how the TempleReady program works and how it relates to the IGI. I will forward your questions to Mary Lou Harline who is the person I rely on for such questions. One issue that strikes me as obvious is that the IGI is not a lineage linked file. It is a record of events such as births, deaths, marriages, temple ordinances. Some of the records will show parents and or a child because birth records or sealings will contain that information. But for the most part, there is no provision in the IGI to build complete families and lineages. The Family Ordinance Record is different and does show families as long as they have been sealed together at the same time. I suspect that if you perform the sealing of the parents there will have to be some special procedure to make sure your work is applied to the family members that have already had their work done. I suspect that using the AFN numbers will be the key. Secondly, If you prepare a TempleReady disk in PAF and submit it to the TempleReady program. It is my understanding that when TempleReady clears a name for ordinance work, only that name is transferred to the Submission disk. The names that do not qualify for ordinance work are not put on the submission disk.

The children of the couple I will be submitting have already had work done, yet the parents haven't. (done by extraction years ago). I'm not sure I follow this -- how could the children have been sealed to their parents if the parents aren't in the IGI? If I've misread something, and what the children have had done is the baptism and endowment, then use your turn to SP, which OUGHT to link the two. But, maybe not. I'll believe anything today.
