Ward and stake clerks use Leader and Clerk Resources (LCR) to specify who has Temple and Family History Callings.

You cannot update callings in the Member Tools app. For the most up-to-date information about Member Tools and Leader and Clerk Resources, please see the help that is available in each application.

When clerks enter callings correctly, Temple and Family History Consultants gain benefits:

  • Ward members can find and contact their Ward Temple and Family History Consultants from the FamilySearch Support Contact Us on FamilySearch. After signing in, click Find In-Person Help.
  • The Temple and Family History Leader and Temple and Family History Consultants can access resources:
    • Additional materials in the Helper Resources section of FamilySearch.
    • The option to receive a newsletter for people with family history callings.
    • Tools and communication they need for their callings.
    • Indexing and Get Involved Statistics in the Get Involved Report.
