Regarding whom I can attach to my tree

I know I can't submit to a temple any collateral relatives, thus depriving their descendants who join the Church of the joy of taking their ancestors' names to a temple, but can I add Aunts, Uncles, and their ancestors to my tree, if I limit myself to doing that ? richardalancohen <tomfuzzyshomerun@gmail.com >

    There is an article that talks specifically about reserving ordinances for Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. The rules may be slightly different than your understanding

    Go to the question mark to access help and enter the word Aunt to see the official policy.

    There is no rule about adding the information about your relatives to FamilySearch so that others can find them and do their work at a later time.

    Please don't answer unless you know for a certainty that your answer is the strict policy of the Church.
