Non member youth roster issue

#1

Post by Walkerbear21 »

I was wondering if there was a way to add a young woman to the YW rosters even though she isn't a member of the church. Her Father is a member and on the member list. Mom is not a member. I added the young woman to their household as a non-member child but it isn't showing up on the youth roster. The young woman is attending mutual regularly and the YW leaders would like to have her part of the roles. Does it take time for the name to show up or am I missing something? Thanks

As far as I know, the only way to make that work is if you print out the roll and pencil in her name at the bottom.

I'm pretty sure that "add(ing) the young woman to their household as a non-member child" only filled out what I call the "genealogy" section of the parent's records. She's not showing in the household (in the directory), nor is she showing in any other rolls or lists.

Nor is there anything else you can do until she gets baptized.

Walkerbear21, perhaps you're thinking of what can be done for a child under 9 years of age, when a membership record can get created and the child shows up on the Primary roles. And once you've passed baptism age without being baptized, the only way to get a membership record created (and thus appear on the roles) is thru baptism.

Once upon a time, many years ago, it was possible to add non-members to the system. No more.
