Due to the nature of your 'Question' ...
.
I am "Moving" this (General) 'Question' of yours, in this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, to the 'Group' being "All Temple & Family History Consultants", in the Forum; so that, the members of that group can answer/assist you.
.
That Group is "Public", which you can join, if you wish.
.
And ...
.
As an aside ...
.
I am ALSO "Tagging" this 'Question' of yours in to a 'Group' in the Forum being "Temple Work and My Family", in the hope that, the members of those groups may be able to answer/assist you.

That Group, is ALSO "Public", which you can join, if you wish.

@Richard B. Anderson Not being sure how you envision that in your mind, I'm wondering if the following would be helpful. On FamilySearch, select "Family Tree" on the top (main) menu bar. In the drop-down menu, select "Tree." There you will have a choice of several different views (most people will see "Landscape" as the default view, but it could also be "Portrait," "Fan Chart," or "Descendency"). Select "Fan Chart." Once you're looking at the fan chart, select "Ordinances" from the menu at the top left. That will give you a fan chart showing all those who've been completed with a white background, and the others still needing more research, etc., in other colored backgrounds. It becomes instantly obvious who's been completed in the entire family (maximum of seven generations - though you can continue to chart that out with successive 7-generation charts as noted below).
You can print a very nice fit-to-page copy of that using the "Options" tab at the upper right corner of the chart on the screen. It will print out a .pdf document that you could insert in a book or email to family. And of course any of your family that are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will also be able to see the "Ordinances" view of the fan chart on their own computers, using their own FamilySearch accounts. Just make sure that when you print it, you select "Landscape" orientation and "Shrink to fit" (or similar words depending on your printer property screens).
Hopefully that will work or give you other ideas how to share that list. You did say, "Only names completed," which isn't able to be selected by itself on the fan chart, but at least you will see all of those who've been completed in white on the fan chart, with the other categories shown in other colors. As you'll see, it's very easy to follow. Hope that either fits with what you're trying to do, or at least gives you additional ideas.
Then if you have ancestors going beyond seven generations, you could do the same thing starting at the 7th generation ring and print another chart beginning with any person you select. They will then be in the center of a new chart extending up to another seven generations. Just click anyone out on the 7th generation ring, and when their small individual window pops up on your screen, select "Tree" in the lower left corner of that small individual window. The chart will switch to a new seven generation chart with that new person in the middle, extending additional generations backward. And you could do that for as many people as have further generations beyond themselves. It all prints out very nicely even if you don't have the chart perfectly centered and sized for the window in which you see it on your computer. The "Print" option centers it very nicely for you. Just be sure to shrink the final printout to fit the page you're printing to. You'll then have a great view of everyone in seven generations with their ordinances already completed, as well as those still needing further research or other action, along with as many additional seven generation charts as needed, going further back.

Surely a history of the family would also include those whose work has not yet been completed? In which case have them create a FamilySearch account, add living family and then the first deceased by ID wich you can provide. The whole tree will then appear.

Trouble is this only shows pedigree ancestors and not their children etc.

I dont get it ?? Hows is completed ordinances related to a "Family History"??
or are you trying to build a "history of the ordinance work"
there really is not a great way to do that - other than you going one by one to see the ordiance data.
There are some ways I can think of you could use a program like Roots Magic to download data form FS to Rootsmagic and then generate reports.
BUT depends on your technical comfort in doing that.
How many people are we talking about?

Using the Descendency view of the Pedigree with the option to show ordinances needed gives the most complete picture of non-lineal relatives.

I wondered about that earlier, but found that it only shows 4 generations, so that would be almost impossible to "publish" (in any format) a family history of ordinances. And that view also ends up showing incomplete ordinances, which doesn't fit the original question. I'm not understanding the idea of wanting to share a list of only those with completed ordinances as a history, but that's his objective, and probably a lot more behind it with more details than can easily fit here in this format. At least there have been some additional ideas provided that can hopefully generate some additional ideas at his @Richard B. Anderson end.
