How Partner Sites Can Help You Find
a New Name to Submit to the Temple: Records
March 23, 2015 By Debra Woods
We accepted Elder Andersen’s challenge at RootsTech 2015 to take our own family names to the temple this year. This challenge starts with a name, but it doesn’t end there! To qualify for temple work, an individual needs more than just a name; and guessing is not helpful. One of the major goals of FamilySearch.org
is to eliminate all the duplication of ordinances for the dead that has been going on for over 100 years!
Sloppy research will not improve the situation. We need to find documentation of the existence of each ancestor, and we do it by searching the multiplicity of
historic record sets that are available around the world!

Partner Sites
Autumn 2014 saw the announcement that FamilySearch was partnering with three major commercial genealogical services, allowing those with LDS accounts to start free accounts at Ancestry.com, My Heritage findmypast and Ancerican Ancestors.com. At RootsTech 2015, several more partnerships were announced since that time! Our FamilySearch partner tree is growing!
With partner accounts (several of which are free to members of the LDS Church and to anyone at most family history centers), you will have access to billions of records that you can use to search for the required details to submit a family name to the temple. Finding the names, events, dates and locations that you need is increased with each new partner account.
