    "Temples no longer return family name cards to you after you do the ordinances. Instead, you receive a FamilySearch Notification confirming that the ordinance was completed and recorded. 

    To see your notifications, do one of the following:

    • Sign in to the FamilySearch website. The Notifications button appears in the top right corner of the screen, next to your name.
    • Open the Family Tree mobile app, and then open the menu."

    This has been previously, discussed; and, debated, at length in the OLD 'FamilySearch' ("GetSatisfaction") 'Feedback' Forum ...

    Here are just a couple of the old (legacy) posts in the OLD 'FamilySearch' ("GetSatisfaction") 'Feedback' Forum [now, the (NEW) "IDEAS" Forum] on this matter ...

    Bad Idea! New temple policy not to return any cards to patrons.
