Question retracted, thanks.
Nevermind.

I'm pretty sure that the 90 day expiration is not being enforced until all temples are fully open. You should see the expiration date advance day by day.
However, the only way to get a two year reservation would be to contact the user who submitted the names through the messaging system, explain who you are, ask if they would be willing to unshare a group of the ordinances from temple and share them with you. However, you may find that this relative of yours has reasons for wanting to get these ordinance done as efficiently as possible, which is by giving all your extended family anywhere in the world access to these ordinances through Ordinances Ready or through finding them in Family Tree and taking a 90 day reservation.

Hello, Gordon Collett.
Thanks for your thoughtful response, I appreciate what you've shared. I'm glad to hear that the expiration may be automatically suspended under current circumstances.
I did message the individual to introduce myself and express interest in working together, but as of yet have received no reply. I've also realized that it was actually my 18-year-old son who made most of the additions to the FamilySearch tree. He is a keen researcher and enjoys hunting for our ancestors via old church records in the German archives.
I have no evidence that the user who shared the names of my ancestors with the temple is a relative, as the ancestors in question were born over 110 years ago. I agree with you that we all have our own reasons for approaching temple work in the way we do. I imagine that in general, what's at the heart of those reasons is a desire to participate, connect, and bless. My openness in expressing my feelings of disappointment are not intended as an implication that my fellow FamilySearch user has acted inappropriately.
I've drawn my extended family's attention to the opportunity available to perform these ordinances for our ancestors. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
