Damien the Leper Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I was wondering if the Family Search website has the information about some of my family member's temple ordinances. I initiated some of the temple work by doing baptisms but a friend and his wife did initiatories and endowments.Is there any way to obtain this information either on the site or through the church despite my not being a member of the church at this time?
Storm Rider Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I was wondering if the Family Search website has the information about some of my family member's temple ordinances.

Sit with them as they are on the computer site. We have been advised to focus soley on our own families when doing research, but with you there I think I would feel comfortable assisting you. I suspect others would be also.
Calm Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) I believe you need your membership number to access temple records these days.Here is the registration page for the new.familysearch.org:https://ident.familysearch.org/cis-web/pages/registration/registration.html?referrer=new%20FamilySearch&lng=enI tried to do a search on that and the related site to see what is needed to access the tracking stuff I posted below, didn't find any pages answering that issue. However, you can send in questions and they will answer them for you so I would do just that if someone else who knows better doesn't respond. Edited July 8, 2012 by calmoriah
