Hi There,

While I agree with others that the Ordinance Index should be restricted to
the Church membership, I do have a question for you.

There are several non-members who use the Family History Centers (and
Library). Some choose to have the Ordinances done for their ancestors,
even though they are not a member of our faith.

Now, if you've seen the IIGI without being signed on, you'll see that the
ancestor's name and some basic information is on the IIGI, however what
specific ordinances have been done is not. By this I mean, for some
ancestors all of their work may be done, however I have come across some
from my own family where only a sealing to a parent was done, as the names
were retrieved by extraction.

My question is: when a non-member patron wishes to submit names for Temple
work, at what point does someone with the access check to make sure that
the ordinances really are not being duplicated?

I'm interested in hearing you're input on this.

Thanks,

Dawn

PS: I have instructions on my web site that go through the registration
process for the Internet Ordinance Index. Here's a link:
