I have tried both ways i found in the FS program. There was nothing listed when i clicked on print, family then show ordinances true or false. I could not find the show ordinances.

    Here is a link to an article in the Help Center that will give you instructions for hiding ordinance data in Family Tree. This will allow you to print a Family Group Sheet without ordinances showing.

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-hide-ordinance-data-in-family-tree

    Here are the instructions:

    Steps (website)

    1. Sign in to FamilySearch.org.
    2. In the top-right portion of the screen, click your name.
    3. Click Settings.
    4. Click Account.
    5. Click to remove the check in the box next to Show Temple Information near the bottom of the screen.
    6. To turn the feature back on, repeat the process.


    Don't forget to go back into settings after printing to put a check mark back into the box. 😊

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

    Further to the information, that 'CJTobler' has proffered ...

    IF, you are referring, to using the "Print" feature/function/facility, from an individual's/person's "Person/Details" page/screen; THEN, I do not believe, that "Changing", the status of Show Temple Information", in one's "Settings", has any effect, with such "Printing".

    As, I just tried such ... it did not work ...

    But ...

    That Said ...

    Do not despair ...

    There is a 'Work Around' ... all-be-it, a 'little' technical ...

    [ And, this holds true, whether or not, you want to "Print", a "Pedigree"; or, a "Family Group Record" ... ]

    Please bear with me ...

    This works BEST if you are "Opening" the PDF File in a "Browser", rather than "Saving" to a "File".

    Because ...

    When you "Open" the PDF File in a "Browser", there IS a way, to REMOVE the "Temple" Work; BEFORE, actually printing the PDF Document.

    Now ...

    That Said ...

    When you "Open" the PDF File in a "Browser", the URL, for the PDF File, appears at the TOP of one's page/screen something like this:

    ==========

    Pedigree

    https:// www.familysearch.org/service/tree/tree-data/pdf/pedigree-chart/[ ... PID ... ]/spouse/DEFAULT?locale=en&showOrdinances=true

    ------------------

    Where, in the example above, I have substituted the actual 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID) for the particular individual/person, with "[ ... PID ... ]".

    Now, in that URL you will 'see' "&showOrdinances=true&" ... in the MIDDLE ...

    ALL you need to do, is to change, the word of "true", to the word of "false"; and, then "Refresh" that page/screen ...

    Voilà ... there you have it ... the PDF File ... WITHOUT the "Temple" Work ...

    Done ... go ahead and print ... 

    ==========

    Family Group Sheet

    https:// www.familysearch.org/service/tree/tree-data/pdf/family-group/[ ... PID ... ]/spouse/DEFAULT?locale=en&showOrdinances=true&showSourcesPage=false&showContributorPage=false

    ------------------

    Where, in the example above, I have subsituted the actual 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID) for the particular individual/person, with "[ ... PID ... ]".

    Now, in that URL you will 'see' "&showOrdinances=true" ... at the END ...

    ALL you need to do, is to change, the word of "true", to the word of "false"; and, then "Refresh" that page/screen ...

    Voilà ... there you have it ... the PDF File ... WITHOUT the "Temple" Work ...

    Done ... go ahead and print ... 

    ==========

    As I said ...

    A 'Work Around' ... all-be-it, a 'little' technical ...

    But, it works ...

    [ And, it may take some practice, if you are NOT familiar/confident using computers ... but ... not too difficult ]

    I hope this helps, somewhat.

    I'm using Chrome 94.0.4606.81.

    I turned off Show Temple Ordinances as @CJTobler outlined above, and the ordinances do not show when I print.

    What browser are you using?

    I am using Chrome and the Temple Ordinances still show up when I turn the Show Temple Ordinances off.

    I looked at Brett's solution and did the following:

    I went to the individual's "Person" page and selected Print>Pedigree.

    FamilySearch brought up a new window and I altered the URL in the new window, by changing "true" to "false" and it worked like a charm.
