check out a 5 minute You-tube training video here for the new family tree app
or read all about it on the family search blog here
an awesome step-by-step video instruction on how to use the new app is found here.
How does it work?
It checks first for names you have reserved, then for names you've missed, and finally for names that have been shared with the temple (but are still related to you - you can see how when you pull up the names.)
It only gives you as many names as you can do right now. (When those are completed it will generate a new list. If you've misplaced your names, you can reprint them.) The program will produce:
5 baptism/confirmation names
5 initiatory names
1 endowment
10 sealings of each type (spouse and parent/child)
If you are female, the names found will be female. Going as a family? Have each member log into their account (12-13 year olds need parent permission) and print their own names.
You have 90 days to complete the ordinances you requested.
These new-found names may provide additional opportunities for research.
Moral of the story: share all of your names with the temple. You can always claim them back, but that way your ancestors aren't waiting on you if another descendant is going to the temple first.
