When someone reserves ordinances for your relative

John Henry Tomlin

 • LZZS-QLQ

I initially submitted my maternal grandmother's brother's name, John Henry Tomlin. The baptism and confirmation were completed. Then someone else did his initiatory.


My question is this: The two people that have reserved the work for his Endowment and Sealing to parents are far from being related to him. One is related to me as an 8C through my paternal father's side and the other is related to me as an 11C2R through my adoptive paternal side. I need help understanding how they were able to reserve these ordinances in the first place. Thanks.

Jamie

    Hi Jamie,

    It would seem that these individuals checked off the relationship box, thus allowing them to do the work. However one of the reserved is now out of date which means that you could request to have that name reserved.
