    Why does Ordinances Ready only provide one endowment name at a time? Why not two?

    @FieldChristopherRhodes1

    Thank you for your question. Ordinances Ready provides ordinances based on what can be accomplished by one person in one temple appointment. Since you are able to only complete one endowment during one endowment session, that is what Ordinance Ready provides. You don't need to rely on Ordinances Ready. If you have ordinances you have already reserved, you can go to "My Reservations" and print those directly. If you don't yet have reservations in your own list, you can work on adding missing family members to the shared FamilySearch Family Tree and then reserve their ordinances to complete.

    We sometimes do two sessions, or sessions in two temples in a matter of a few days. It would be so much better to be able to select 1, 2, or 3 endowments to be printed from the Ordinances Ready option than the default of 1. Then we would have cards ready to do without having to reprint between every endowment session.

    Ordinances Ready is made for one temple session. However, you don't have to use Ordinances Ready. If you have already reserved ordinances, you can print all that you need from the My Reservations list.

    Does printing a family name card from "Ordinances Ready" constitute a "temple submission" or make the person a "person submitting a name" in the FH report?

    Please see this Help Center article for more information:

    What information is on the Family History Activity Report (FHAR)?

    • Submitter: A member is counted once who submits one or more names for temple work. A submission includes printing a Family Ordinance Request, printing a family name card, or sharing a name with the temple. (Note: Sharing an ordinance with another person (even if it is accepted) or accepting an Ordinances Ready ordinance does not count as submitted until the card is printed.)

    I want to complete the final two temple ordinances for my deceased aunt, but they have been reserved by someone else who is not a close relative. I have asked that person to unreserve those ordinances, but he has not done so yet. How can I reserve them so I can print the cards and my wife and I can complete the temple work?

    Greetings, Amy Archibald. Thank you for your response to my October 17 question and your January 27 response to Maureen Bryson's related suggestion. Like Maureen, and others, no doubt, I participate in more than one endowment session when I go to the temple. I know that, with some level of research, I can find other relatives who may be in need of the endowment ordinance. However, if Family Search knows about and can more easily and readily identify my relatives who are awaiting endowment, why not provide those names, that is, and additional name, at the same time via Ordinances Ready. In theory, when I have completed the one endowment that Ordinances Ready has provided me the name for and when that ordinance has been recorded, I can go back into Family Search/Ordinances Ready and find a new name to perform an endowment for. However, that would require me to go online between sessions, find the name, reserve it, and then ask the temple to print it out for me. Even if that was possible and if it could be coordinated with the temple, it would be difficult to do all of that within the existing timeframes between endowment sessions and the possible need for appointments. I look forward to your response and would appreciate it if you would bump this "need" up to Craig Miller, has he recently urged us to do in his Roots Tech presentation. Thank you so much!
