I had booked an appointment at the temple and had a certain name, my mothers great aunt, that I wanted to take to the temple. My plan was to go home from work, change, grab my temple bag with that name and go to my appointment. I got tied up at work and had just enough time to drive across town straight to the temple and skip going home. The temple workers were gracious about me wearing dress pants, but I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be able to do my mother‘s great aunt’s work, until I remembered this app. I pulled it up, clicked on Temple, chose my ordinance and was able to pull up a QR code for my mother‘s great aunt. The temple office printed it off and I did the ordinance. I was quite struck with how the Lord and the church have made doing God’s work workable in an unworkable world. truly miraculous!

It is the 21st century, 2020 and it will not let you use same sex couples. Shameful
Developer Response
Same sex relationships can be added to the tree. https://media.familysearch.org/familysearch-adds-ability-to-document-all-family-relationships/

I’m so pleased with the wonderful resources available for research and the ordinance ready program. Although there can be mistakes made by various contributors I think the positives outweigh any negatives. More and more is being added daily. There are little miracles happening all the time!
