oats Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 There must be some contact e-mail on that familysearch website where you can inform somebody that the user is putting in false information. At least it will prevent that account from putting up more false information.

Perhaps this person will eventually move on to trying and screw up real family lines.Rather than reporting it to the temple, I'd contact family search at https://www.familysearch.org/help/contactI suspect this wouldn't be the first time something suspicious has been brought to their attention. They will likely at least tell you the correct procedure. IIRC, in one of the more recent articles on the agreement between Jewish groups and the Church, there was mention of new tech to be able to prevent improper submissions, I assume this included tracking down the individual and either informing them of the proper procedure or if they are running a prank or scam, attempting to block their access to the system.Pranking the Church....will lead to....
ldsfaqs Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I've always found it interesting that "Alma" is such a popular name for those Native of Central/South America.
Duncan Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I agree. Orion and the use of the other names stretch it beyond the breaking point.ETA: So how does (or should) the temple handle this? Should I advise the Recorder, or just let it go?I would probably write the Temple dept. in SLC and let them know about it. I doubt that the local Temple could really do anything about it but I could be wrong.

He has to have a link that would be more effective than an "ordinary" Saint when calling. And he knows who the call should go to, if it should go in at all.Lehi

Probably the best person for the job.While not specific to this problem, same advice for another potential problem: In some very limited circumstances, some ordinances for the dead do not follow this sequence. Please direct any questions to the temple presidency or temple recorder.http://lds.org/manua...ple+recorder%22In another lesson, same advice is given:Read carefully the Member’s Guide to Temple and Family History Work (34697) for more detailed information about how to provide temple ordinances for both the living and the dead. You may also contact the temple recorder at the temple you are planning to visit.Looks like the Temple Recorder is the go to guy. Edited August 30, 2011 by calmoriah
