Can I move names between Family Groups?

EarlBushman

I am part of a very large family organization, much too large for the 100 member limit in new family groups feature. If I create two groups and as a member/administrator of both groups, can I move ordinance cards between the groups, to keep a balanced number of available ordinances in each group?

I believe you can unshare them from one group and then share them to another. Never tried it but I think that's possible.

Thank you for posting your question in the Community regarding Family Groups.

According to an article from our Help Center, "The user who shared the ordinance with a family group can unshare as long as no other group members reserved them."

Here are the steps described in the article:

1. Sign in to FamilySearch.org, and click Temple.
2. Click Family Groups.
3. If you have more than one family group, click the group name on the left.
4. Click the box beside each name that you want to unshare from the group.
5. Click Reserve for Later. The reservation moves to My Reservations.

From My Reservations, you should be able to share with a different group.

There are many excellent articles in our Help Center about Family Groups. Simply type, "Family Groups" in the search box for a list of links.

We hope this helps.

Best wishes.
