Ordinance reservations require a date for at least one of the vital events of the person’s life (such as a birth, death, or marriage).
Family Tree uses these dates—exact or estimated—to determine whether 110 years have passed since the person's birth. (Learn more about the 110-year rule and whom you can reserve ordinances for.)
Your reservation list may not print cards for ordinance reservations with a missing date. Click here for help with estimating dates and entering them into FamilySearch Family Tree.
