How to make corrections to my parents and sisters Ordinance dates?
Their baptism and confirmation dates are incorrect, I have found and attached documents of such, in the Memories of each one as proof.
My dad AAJC Dieperink. KWXN-M3Y sholud be 17 Feb 1932. Pretoria, South Africa.
Mom FE Bartman. KFGR-543 should be 28 Nov 1933. Pretoria, South Africa.
Sister. JF Dieperink. K819-WVZ should be 22 Oct 1944. Pretoria, South Africa.
Sister CH Dieperink. K8DZ-R9G should be 22 Oct 1944. Pretoria, South Africa.
Please could someone help as I am not able to make these changes.
Sincerely,
Memory Smith.

Your Mom's details appear to be correct.
Your Dad was in the record consecutively above your Mothers. Is it possible they were baptised the same year but one or both were recorded wrongly.
you sisters were both living baptisms in 1944 but were also baptised vicariously in 2003 and 1999.
Is it possible that some Family member didn't know they had been baptised previously.

Thank you Rothesian and Bryan, for your welcomed replies.
Our family were all aware of their baptisms in the 1930's and 1940's but unsure of the dates, and my sisters did not know them either, so we were told that they could be baptized again hence the ordinances in 1999, 2000 and 2003, after they had passed away.
The South African church membership film was available in our Johannesburg, family history center, and this is where I found the actual records that I attached to my parents and sisters in their individual Memories Documents in Family Search.
For myself, I have my Blessing and Baptism documents for 1944 which was found with my mother's possessions after she passed away.
Thank you sooo much for forwarding my request, it is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Memory Smith.
