Allow names shared with the temple to be shared with a FamilySearch Family Group

Unfortunately many over zealous "do good" FamilySearch users scour the website and share any incomplete ordinances they see with the temple when they are not even remotely related to these people. Just today, I discovered my aunt and uncle that I personally know who needed spouse sealing work has been shared with the temple by someone that shows a relationship going back more than ten generations? Plus many other similar situations. I'd like to add this ordinance to our temple Family Group so our immediate family can perform the ordinances. Currently, I'm not allowed to share a name with a family group if it has been shared with the temple.

    It would seem that the best hope you have of completing these ordinances is to politely ask the person who shared them with the temple to unshare them, explaining the closeness of your relationship. It may or may not bring a positive response, but currently, it's the best option you have.

    Kind regards,

    Barry
