re: RE: [Ldsoss] Re: HT and VT Tool

I don't think anyone suggested using the MRN, I think the suggestion was to use 
the membership ID which is not the same thing as the MRN.  The membership ID is 
a unique identifier on that comes with the membership output CSV to identify 
each row on that table.  Using and storing the membership ID poses no security 
or privacy risks.

 Well, for example, with someone's MRN (and confirmation date) you sign

And the confirmation date is fairly guessable for most members born in the
covenant to active families.

Not sure how much it matters, though.

As someone who has a hyphen in his last name not from marriage, but from birth 
it also in infuriating when I come across a computer system that will only 
accept alpha characters in the last name field.

 The core features that *must* be implemented (Level 1):

 - First name, last name, middle initial (optional).
 - Flag for leader or scout.

As one who uses their middle name, I am always infuriated when, in this 
day of TeraByte storage, I encounter computer systems that insist on 
calling me A, because I use A. Rick Anderson.  If you insist on such 
an archaic limitation, please do NOT add a restriction against the use 
of a period or space character as legal values in a name.  I can't tell 
you how many computer systems where my first name is A. Rick  Anderson :-(


But, if you'd send me your initial cut, I would also appreciate having a 
starting point.

I would agree with both your concerns Steven, accept that, after reading the 
entire email trail from yesterday, this appears to be a project initiated by 
Church HQ and not some random person on the listserve.

The church has said no unofficial websites - this to me would be an official 
website.

local units.  They don't even allow information to be posted into Family
Search about living people, they just insert a LIVING placeholder.  Being

a huge pitfall -- despite good intentions -- it would be wise not to fall

re: RE: [Ldsoss] multiple e-mails in family group

2005-12-28 Thread grgordonross

If you read the fine print under that email address on the individual 
membership record, it does state that this email adress is for the household 
and changing it will update it for every member of the household.  While I 
don't agree and think the system should handle more than one - they do tell you 
there is only one.

There is a field there for each membership record, but for some reason

updating the email address(es) for any family member will update that
value for all members in the family, including the HOH.

I seemed to recall as clerk in my last ward being able to do an e-mail
address for each individual.  At least I thought there was a field for
each - not sure if it let you enter it in for everyone.  I was
financial clerk however, not membership, so I didn't use the
membership system very often.

[Ldsoss] Ward History Application

2005-10-15 Thread grgordonross

My wife was asking me if there was a way to pull MLS data and use it to create 
a running Ward History - who had what calling when, who got baptised into the 
ward, missionaries serving in/from, etc.  It got me thinking that I should ask 
this group if anyone has developed or come up with a good way to document Ward 
History - anyone?
