Heads-Up. Exciting. Its here. We CAN now, be members, of MULTIPLE, "Family Groups" (maybe, x10)
All
FYI
"Heads-Up" ...
EXCITING stuff ...
It is here ...
And, available ...
[ No less, in the "Production" (ie. "Live") Environment ... ]
It appears NOW, that we CAN be members, of MORE than just ONE, "Family Group".
ie. We CAN now, be members, of MULTIPLE, "Family Groups".
[ Well, I would suggest, up to a MAXIMUM of, maybe, at least, Ten (x10) ... ]
[ If, the "Beta" (ie. "Test") Environment, is any example ... ]
I just had a 'look', there is NO LONGER, a bar from "Creating" a SECOND or More "Family Groups".
And, I was "Sent", an "Invite", to a "Family Group"; and, able to "Join" a SECOND "Family Group", despite ALREADY being the member, of ANOTHER, "Family Group".
Then, I initiated, the process, to "Create" ANOTHER, "Family Group".
Hooray ...
Whoopee ...
Enjoy ...

As you suggest, my understanding that 10 is the new maximum which should be enough for most people. This should leave the way clear to create ward family groups to allow the easy sharing of ordinance work between ward members, e.g. for youth baptism trips and work for ancestors of the opposite sex for members who are single and lack endowed family members to do the work.

'Yes' ...
We immediately, sent an "E-mail", to our "Stake Presidency", to pass around, to the Wards and Branches ...
NOW, we can have, not ONLY, Family Groups (and, a number of); but, that there CAN also be the likes of, Ward Groups; Elder Quorums Groups; Relief Society Groups; Young Mens Groups; Young Womens; and, even, Stake Groups (and, more), to hep/assist, with getting the "Temple" Work done, in haste.

I have had a couple of family groups for several months, which I created and invited others to join. Today I was demonstrating "Ordinances Ready" and some of the names which came up when I clicked on Initiatory came from 'Ward and Stake", which I have never seen before. Usually when I demonstrate this they come from "My Reservations" and from "Temple". But I had never seen Ward and Stake before. I clicked on the person's Ordinances and saw who had reserved it and that she had shared it with the Temple.
I am just curious if that is all we have to do. Just share the ordinance that we have reserved with the Temple and it will automatically come up on "Ordinances Ready" for a Ward or Stake Member? Or do we need to do something more? I have not joined a ward or stake group, and it came up for me. I just want the facts before I start sharing this idea with others. (I am the Stake Consultant Trainer.)

You don't need to do any more - Ordinances Ready now draws available ordinances from a variety of sources.
Specifically, the Ordinances Ready feature looks in these places:
- Your family names list (or "temple list" or "reservation list"). These are family names that you have reserved in Family Tree. They are on your family names list.
- Family names that you shared with a family group. These are names that you reserved and then shared with a family group.
- Family names that have been shared with a family group that you belong to. These are names that someone else shared with a family group that you belong to.
- Your family names that you shared with the temple. These are names that you reserved in Family Tree and then shared with the temple. They are on your family names list. As long as a temple has not yet printed a shared name, the Ordinances Ready feature can un-share the name so you can print the card.
- Names of people who are related to you that have been shared with the temple by someone else. These names are in your tree and were reserved by someone else and then shared by that other person with the temple.
- "Green temples" from your tree. These are names that Ordinances Ready find by scanning 10 generations of your ancestors and 5 generations of their descendants for incomplete ordinances. The ordinances have not yet been reserved by anyone. If you were to look in Family Tree, the name would have a green temple icon. Before giving you one of these ordinances, FamilySearch makes sure no possible duplicates exist for the record.
- Your ward. These are names that members of your ward shared with the temple.
- Your stake. These are names that members of your stake shared with the temple.
