Request Permission for Deceased Charlotte "Lotti" Fehr date of death 20 Jan 2021

Fred Hanke

Dear Staff

The deceased and I are distant cousins and we have a common ancestor great-grandfather, Florian Reinhold b. 18 Dec 1849, d. 28 Feb 1887. Deceased's grandfather, Richard Reinhold, b. 21 Mar 1881 d.12 Oct 1965, and my maternal grandmother, Clara Reinhold b. 21 Aug 1883 d. 26 Nov 1967 are brother and sister. I have done much temple work for my Reinhold family, all previously approved by you.

In 2013 I submitted, and you completed all the ordinances for deceased's husband, Wilhelm Bremer LDR1-ICB.

I have permission from her living son, Oliver Fehr, who notified me via a 2021 Christmas card, which I didn't keep. His address is Trompetersköpchen 6, 35683 Dillenburg, Germany.

Respecfully submitted,

Manfred A. Hanke,

Thank you for posting in the Community about the ordinances for Charlotte "Lotti" Fehr, who died last year. You will need to request them on Family Tree. In order to do the ordinances, you must connect Oliver Fehr to Charlotte in Family Tree. The following is from the Help Center article "How do I request ordinances for an ancestor who was born in the last 110 years?"

When you reserve ordinances for your ancestors, you can come across a warning message that reads, "Permission Required." The message means that the ancestor was born within the last 110 years. You must receive permission from a close living relative before you can reserve the name for temple work. Verbal permission is acceptable.

A close living relative can be an undivorced spouse, an adult child, a parent, or a sibling.

If no close living relatives exist to grant permission, you can still request permission to do the ordinances. Please provide evidence that no living close relatives exist. 

For more information on this topic, please consult the Church’s General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 28.1.

Grandchildren can request the ordinances for their deceased grandparents. Grandchildren still need permission from a close living relative. Grandchildren do not fill out the permission form.

Before you start

• To request permission, you need an email account and a phone number. 
• Make sure that the person who gave permission appears in Family Tree as a close living relative of the deceased person.
• If no close relatives are alive, make sure that Family Tree contains their death information. Attach sources as evidence. 

Steps (website)

1. In Family Tree on the FamilySearch.org website, navigate to the person page of the relative whose ordinances you want to request. 
2. On the person page, a series of tabs appears directly below the relative's name. Click Ordinances.
3. Click Request (Permission Required).
4. In the Permission Required box, click I Have Permission.
5. Answer the question, "Is the spouse alive?"
6. Fill out the information, and click Submit.
7. A message lets you know you submitted the request. 

Wishing you success in getting permission to do the ordinances for Charlotte Fehr.
