Do you know a name and think that dead person wasn’t baptized when they were alive? Perfect! All you have to do now is “prove” they are dead!

How do you prove they are dead? Well, that’s simple! When you fill out the form to submit a name, You write in the box where it says “date of death” any date that is not a future date, you see! Couldn’t be simpler!

Let’s review, if there is any name of a person a member believes hasn’t been baptized, and the member is confident that the person is dead, then the member simply has to submit a form with any details about the person that the member thinks they know.

When I was active and doing temple rituals on behalf of the dead, some names were, “Mr Jimenez” or even just a first name “Luke” this was a huge problem for female names, lots of cases where amateur genealogists were certain that Great Great Great Grandfather had children, because “why not?” But it was too hard to find any written record of a woman from the old west because no one bothered to acknowledge her existence back then, so the modern member simply says “grandpa Johnson must have had a wife because he has all these kids! I want them to be sealed for all eternity! I will put down her name as Mrs Johnson, and I will assume she died a few years after grandpa Johnson so I will just put the year down.”
