Here is some important information about a newly certified software application that will work directly with the new.familysearch.org Web site to prepare ancestral ordinances for the temple.
RootsMagic 4 is the first software affiliate product that is certified to reserve and submit ancestral names to temples to print LDS temple name cards using new FamilySearch Web services.
As an application that is certified to reserve ordinances, RootsMagic 4 has the ability to link people in your desktop genealogy file with matching people on the new.familysearch.org Web site. Once linked, a simple click on the temple icon next to a person’s name will display that person's official temple ordinances, complete with dates, temple name, and status. Incomplete temple ordinances may then be reserved to be performed at a later time. Your own file may also be updated with ordinances that are already completed. RootsMagic 4 can select reserved ordinances and print a Family Ordinance Request (FOR) form to take to the temple. Once at the temple, a worker will scan the bar code on the form and print all the desired temple name ordinance cards. Once the ordinances have been completed, RootsMagic will be updated with your ancestors’ new ordinance status.
Ever since I saw Ali Edwards home office with a printers type tray I've wanted one too. I finally picked one up from ebay with the original intention of altering it for photographs but the little sections were too small for this idea. So instead I followed her example for stamp storage in her office and am using it to store all the little stamps that I have (mostly alphas and word art). I actually like this idea because I can see what I have, things I'd long forgotten about so that when I actually start stamping/paper scrapping they are right there in front of me and I think I'll feel more inclined to use them.
Mother of 3 and workaholic IT Project Manager, I am dedicated to telling life's stories using words, photos and art. I hope it inspires you to capture a piece of your life. ♥
