Finding priesthood line of Authority on Family Search

Post by jarg123 »

Where do I search for my priesthood line of Authority on Family search? I searched on the Family Search website and did not find a section about my families line of Authority. Using the tools app I found my lineage and the lineage is incomplete and I am looking for a way to complete my priesthood lineage.

I don't think FamilySearch supports priesthood line of authority.

I'd suggest checking out this Help Center article: Request a Priesthood Line of Authority.

My line of authority

Just to give some feedback, I noticed my LOA was "incomplete" in Member Tools. I have it on a card back from when I was ordained, but it wasn't in Tools.

I used the process in the link above and after some back and forth to identify the person who ordained me, everything got updated. It took about 10 days. They sent me a PDF as well as updating Tools.
