Membership Records - Wrong last name

Post by durkovich »

My name is Matthew Durkovich, and I am the membership clerk for the Fulton, MO ward. Our Bishop has asked me to follow up on an issue where 2 couples have correct last names in the LCR, but not in tools.

[Member names removed - this is a public forum]

Can you fix this, or let me know in simple terms how to correct the issue? Thank you so much.

The usual culprit is as wrong "Household Name". The individuals have the right names on their record, but the household has the wrong name (probably the wife's maiden name).

Someone else can tell you the details on how to update it in LCR, but that should get you pointed the right way.

  • Go to LCR > Membership > Member List.
  • Select individual name (head of household, HoH spouse, or any other member of household) and click View Member Profile button.
  • Select Household tab.
  • Click Edit Household Name button.
