Can anyone tell me how to get the names so that they are not reserved and maybe even get a list of the names so I can reserve some. I would appreciate any help.

    Sorry to hear about your mother's passing.

    Unfortunately it is not possible to access a list of names that had been reserved.

    The situation is as follows

    When a member of the Church dies, the clerk adds the death information. The Membership Department receives the death information and adds a death date. FamilySearch locks the member's account. As a result, the temple ordinance list of the deceased member changes:

    • No one can print new family name cards from the temple ordinance list.
    • Temples continue to do the work for names shared with the temple.
    • We can release names not shared with the temple. Release is subject to the 110-year approval process.
    • You can still complete family name cards that the deceased member printed before the account lock. Please check to be sure the ordinances are not already complete.
    • The system shares the names with the temple in accordance with the 2-year policy.

    Thank you for answering my question. It is very disappointing, but it is what it is. Now I can just go on and know that the work will be done at some point. Thank you again.
