Patrick Vega

15 February 1997 – 25 March 2018

 • GDCB-H7H

Is the son of a friend. His parents have given permission for Patrick to be baptized. No one in the Vega family are members of the church, nor known distant family members. I am not able to reserve the ordinances, due to not being a family member and though I click on "I have permission.", I still can not reserve them.

Can you help?

Thank you

    Hi Ken,

    To complete ordinances for someone you are not related to, requires a written permission from a relative. This seems to not be a problem, but the permission letter does need to be worded correctly. Check out the Article below on this subject to know what you need to do:

    Ken

    Welcome to the "Community.Familysearch" Forum.

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

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

    Just in passing ...

    As an aside ...

    As far as I was aware ...

    [ And, I stand humbly corrected, if I am wrong (ie. if this has been addressed/fixed, recently ) ... ]

    But ...

    In 'Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch' ...

    The "System", will NOT allow, a User/Patron (of course, who is a Member of the Church), who is NOT "Related" to an individual/person, to "Request", the "Temple" Work, for that individual/person.

    As such ...

    The best option, is to ensure that you follow/comply with that "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch', that 'Diana' has proffered; and, provided all is in order; then; as, you have ALREADY posted here in this Forum, you can post the 'FamilySearch Person Identifier' (PID) of the individual/person, for whom you would like to do the "Temple" Work for, here is this post of yours.

    Whereby, a "Moderator" [ ie. 'FamilySearch' "Support" (Personnel) ], here in this Forum, will be able to take the matter, of yours, pertaining to "Temple" Work, for that particular individual/person, into the Workings, of 'FamilySearch' "Support", to better help/assist you - to enable such to happen.

    Of course ...

    You could (ie. certainly have the option) to contact 'FamilySearch' "Support" either, (1) directly by Telephone; or, (2) ) through/via a "Live" ('On-Line') "Chat"; but, I would humbly suggest; as, you have started this post, in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, it would be much simpler to continue with the matter, through this post of yours.

    Just my thoughts.

    I hope that this also helps/assists, somewhat.

    Brett
