List of our family names
I would love it if FS could create a list of all of the family names we have put in FS. I love that detail in Ancestry.
Ancestry also offers an "orphan" list. These are names of the people that we know are related to us but we are not sure how, just yet.
Also, I have found that I can't keep track of work I still need to perform. Because FS will only allow me to print off cards for 300 people, I have so many that I have not tracked. How can I do that?
Also, I have a lot of male endowments that need to be done but have not been able to get anyone to help me with these. Because I have sent my quota (that FS allows), I have no way to get this work done. What do I do?
Thank you

You can see a list of anyone you have added to or changed within the FamilySearch Family Tree here: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/contributions/changes
Also, you can shared an unlimited number of ordinances with the shared temple list. Anything you are unable to do yourself, you can share with the temple and either the temple or other users will help get that work accomplished. Then when you are able to do some of those ordinances, you can unshare from the temple list back to your own reservation list for completing.

A list of family names that you have put in will be far less useful in Family Tree than it would be on Ancestry because Family Tree includes all the hundreds or thousands of names that you have not put in that you are related who were entered by other people. These are also profiles you should be checking, improving and following. That is one of the beauties of Family Tree. You don't have to put in everyone by yourself.
If you share all those male endowments with the temple, as Amy suggested, they will become available through Ordinances Ready for all your male 2nd to 10th cousins to start taking care of for you.
Also, I would encourage you to stop printing off cards. Just let them sit on your reservation list, or even better on your shared with temple list, until the day before you are going to the temple. Then print them and use them the next day. Family Tree is so dynamic that if you print a card and hold on to it for a couple of years, you may find that someone accidentally created a duplicate and then completed all the ordinances and only then merged with your record. For the cards you have printed, always check before you take them to the temple that the work still needs to be done.
