Linked record
A linked record is a membership record that is created at Church Headquarters for administrative purposes. It "links" the record of a nonmember family member (such as a spouse, child or parent) to the record of a member. A linked record is assigned a record number, but no ordinances are recorded for the individual. If the local priesthood leader and the individual agree, a nonmember record can be created in MLS, so the individual's name appears on class rolls, directories, and household records.
Any changes made to these records (spelling of names, birthdate corrections, etc.) must be submitted to the administrative office using a special request.
