How to Fill Out a Family Group Record
You can use a Family Group Record to (1) record information for your own family records, (2) request ordinances in temples of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for deceased members of your immediate family, and (3) organize your information before using TempfeReady"
to request ordinances . If your stake does not yet have TempleReady, you can use this form to submit names for temple ordinances . Page 15 of A
Member's Guide to Temple and Family History Work tells where to send it .
If you already have a Family Group Record for a family, you do not need to copy the information from the earlier version. Notice that some of the
spaces for recording information now appear in a different order than previous versions of this form .
For more information about Family Group Records, see your ward family history consultant, and read A Member's Guide to Temple and Family
History Work, which is available from Church distribution centers.
Names
" Write given names and last names in
the appropriate spaces .
Whatever you write will be used as
the person's name in the temple .
Avoid quotation marks, brackets,
and terms that are not names.
If a person was known by a
nickname or by more than one
name, write or between the names.
Dates
" Write complete dates if known.
" Calculate unknown dates if possible .
For example, a person who was two
years old in 1860 was born in 1858 .
" Approximate the year if necessary
by adding about.
" If you do not know the birth date,
approximate it or write the
christening date or the date of
another event.
" If you are sure of the death but do
not know the date, write D or dead
(for people born within the last 1 10
years) .
Places
Write names of places in order from
smallest to largest geographical
divisions, separated
by commas . For example: town,
county, state, country. If a town or
county is not known, indicate it with
a comma or add the word county.
If you don't know the place of an
event, write of and the family's
place of residence.
Children
" List the children in birth order .
" Write M or F for each child's sex.
" Mark a direct ancestor with an X if
you wish .
" List the name of the child's spouse
if you know it . To have the couple
sealed, list them as husband and
wife on another family group
record.
Who will provide the proxies
" Mark option 1 if you will provide
proxies for the baptisms,
endowments, and sealings .
" Mark option 2 if you want the
temple to provide all proxies.
