Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are encouraged to submit information about their deceased family members so temple ordinances can be provided for them. For an explanation of this belief see [http://www.lds.org/temples/familyhistory/0,11267,1906-1,00.html Temples and Family History]. | |||
If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, your ward family history consultant or a staff member at a family history center can assist you. | |||
A computer program called TempleReady<sup>TM</sup> is available at many meetinghouses and family history centers. It greatly simplifies the process of submitting names to the temple. You can enter names into the computer and then take the records on diskette with you to the temple. | A computer program called TempleReady<sup>TM</sup> is available at many meetinghouses and family history centers.

When the temple ordinances are completed for your ancestor, that information will be added to the ''International Genealogical Index'' (but not to ''Ancestral File'' or ''Pedigree Resource File''). This central file of completed temple ordinances helps limit duplication of research and ordinances and allows researchers to know what work has already been done. It is an excellent way to share the results of your research. | When the temple ordinances are completed for your ancestor, that information will be added to the ''International Genealogical Index'' (but not to ''Ancestral File'' or ''Pedigree Resource File'').
