Yeah, I can't think of any other way to do it...except of course requesting all three individually at the same time and then correcting the household grouping after the fact.jbh001 wrote:Use the Request Individual Record function to get the mom's record, Then after her record has arrived, use the same feature to request each of the children into her household.
That's one way to do it.

I was just tracking down an address once for a husband who had left, for the purpose of sending his record out, when his new ward made a request for the family. So I requested the wife back individually right away.Alan_Brown wrote:Well, that will work but it seems inconsiderate and a bit lazy. You will raise concerns in the other ward and cause work for their clerks when the husband's record disappears, and then reappears shortly thereafter. I would recommend that you just request the three records. It's not much harder and is nicer to the other ward.
Not a good idea even though it is doable, because by requesting the husband's record, the other unit's MLS automatically deletes him from any callings and home teaching routes. There's more for the other unit to fix than just the address and phone number.fergie34 wrote:You can request the family's records.

Excellent point! I knew deep-down somehow that it was more than just impolite. I think you hit the nail right on the head. It could really be a hassle and rude annoyance for the other unit to have to clean up the mess.jbh001 wrote:...because by requesting the husband's record, the other unit's MLS automatically deletes him from any callings and home teaching routes.

And the unit history would be wrong, as well. No one knows from my membership record when I moved into my current ward and where I came from, because a clerk at a Church school moved our entire family out instead of just one of our children.jbh001 wrote:. . . the other unit's MLS automatically deletes him from any callings and home teaching routes.

Makes you wish they went back to listing the two most recent units on the record (though then Address Unknown counted as a unit.)lajackson wrote:And the unit history would be wrong, as well.

So now my membership record says that my wife and I and all of our wonderful children moved here several years ago from a student singles ward with a really big number. Being married with children at the time, I would never have qualified to live in that singles ward in the first place.
