Its not from family members but from name extraction. If the Church reduces baptism to names submitted by family members, they will be closing temples.

Actually, they get very few names either way. What they mostly do is name recycle. You will very rarely, if ever, be doing the work for a name that has never been done. Which is really amazing when you consider how much effort and sacrifice goes into temple trips outside of Utah.

They what is with all the hype about calling people to do name extraction. What is that for?

This make me upset that if our young people are doing baptisms with names in the temple that re recycled. It is deceptive.

Ok, I've never heard the church recycle the names... Where do you get this info? It wouldn't surprise me though.

My great-grandmother (a nevermo with all nevermo descendants) was dead-dunked on three separate occasions.

Genealogical researchers haved used LDS resources for years. In exchange, the LDS Church kept whatever names, places, and dates they didnt already have.

I just posted the comment below on "to dunk or not to dunk" but the question seems more appropriate here.

I had a calling once (20 years ago, I'd guess), where I was some kind of extraction clerk. I would enter data from shipping logs to get names. Didn't they have geneological centers, where they read microfiche in wards houses, too? Do they still do this?
