Duplicate Membership Records

[TTheurer]

Is it possible to have membership records in two wards? In our Primary we have several children who are in our ward when it's their week with a parent. Because these children's records reside with the other parent, these children do not show up on any of the reports we generate. It's difficult to make sure these children are a part of our Primary when we cannot access their information.

Duplicate records are not permitted. However, the clerk can add a "out of unit member" record to your ward. That should take care of that issue.

Thanks so much for the information. Will these children show up on "Tools" if they have an "Out of Unit Member Record?"

I'm not sure. But it's worth a try. At this point, it's the only official way of dealing with this situation.

They should.

I wonder if they will show on the directory? There's another thread about people showing in Tools but not the directory.
