Why do I want to find my family??

Do we really know who they are??

Few things have a greater impact on us in this life than knowing about our heritage - who we are, where we have come from, our culture, our

ancestors.

So….as we look for Temple work to do(Green Temples)….we can also get to know those we are doing the work for.

“If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all the generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.”

Tich Nhat Hanh

Green Temple?

What does that mean?

Hooray! Found a Green Temple!

Click on Request Ordinances

Sometimes this happens. When birth date is within 110 years, you

need to be the closest living relative or have permission from

the closest living relative.

In this case, this person’s Ordinances are ready to be

reserved……

What happens if I get this when I try to request Ordinances?

This can be a more complicated problem.

Skip these until you can meet with a consultant and go over them with

someone who can help you.

Where do I go to see the Temple Ordinances that I have reserved?

What if I am unable to complete all the

Ordinances that I have requested?

Since the Youth are only able to do the Baptism and Confirmation , you can either share the other Ordinances with a family member or you can share

them with the Temple.

To Share with Family and Friends, click on the blue question mark.

Then, click on share a reservation with family or friends.

If by some chance, look and look and cannot find any Temple work to do for my

family…….then what?

There is always something that you can do to help progress the work and get to know your ancestors.
