Maori Ancestors born before the year 1500

phillipstephenlambert1

Kia ora , Maori have many whakapapa records of ancestors born before the 1500 but we cant do any of the temple work. Ive been trying to figure out how to do this work for years. Can someone please tell me what Im to do to be able to do their Temple Work.

Hello @phillipstephenlambert1

The First Presidency authorized the removal of the requirement to get approval to complete ordinances for those born between 200 A.D. and 1500 A.D on 22 November 2021.

You should no longer need to contact FamilySearch for approval to do ordinances for individuals living between 200 A.D. and 1500 A.D.

If you are not able to request the ordinances for an individual then please let us know the ID of the individual so the record can be checked.

Here is a relevant knowledge article -
