Request ordinances for G4QM-CXN and G431-GSC

Pam Grimes

I have written permission from the closest living relative, their son. If necessary, please contact me.

Hi Pam,

Thank you for getting permission from a close living relative to do this work.

There is a process to follow to be able to complete these ordinances. Here is what you need to do.

One application for each person.

Before you start

• To request permission, you need an email account and a phone number. 
• Make sure that the person who gave you permission appears in Family Tree as a close living relative of the deceased person.
• If no close relatives are alive, make sure that Family Tree contains their death information. Attach sources as evidence. 

Steps (website)

1. In Family Tree on the FamilySearch.org website, navigate to the person page of the relative whose ordinances you want to request. 
   1. Sign in to FamilySearch.
   2. At the top of the page, in the menu bar, click Family Tree. 
   3. From the drop-down menu that appears, click Tree. 
   4. Your family tree appears. Locate the correct relative, and click his or her name. 
   5. A name card appears. Click the relative's name. The new page that appears is the person page. 
2. Answer the question, "Is the spouse alive?"
3. In the Permission Required box, click I Have Permission.
4. Click Request (Permission Required).
5. On the person page, a series of tabs appears directly below the relative's name. Click Ordinances.
6. Fill out the information, and click Submit.
7. A message lets you know you submitted the request and provides a case number. Write down this case number in case you need to contact FamilySearch about your request.  Hope this helps
