any way to compile a list of deaths over the last year from MLS?
I have a very aging ward. We're trying to compile info for our annual ward history. We've had 13 to 15 deaths in 2016. I want to make sure I've got them all. Is there a simple way to retrieve those names in MLS or on LDS.org?

You might look at a list of "move outs" during the year and see if that provides a clue.
From a database perspective, you've got a problem. People who have died are removed from the ward. It's a bit hard to report on something that is no longer in the database. That's why I'm suggesting the move-out report. I think that's the only thing that will report on people who used to be the ward.

If you're relying solely on the Members Moved Out report, you may want to wait for LCR 4.0, which is supposed to fix a bug where deceased members aren't showing up on the report.
