Leader contact information and center location information should be verified and kept current in the Church Directory of Organizations and Leaders (CDOL). Keeping the center hours updated is your responsibility and is important for the success of the center.
Leaders should review the center hours, contact information, and notes using the CDOL. If any center information needs to be corrected, the leader should use the Director Portal to make changes.
When there is a change in FamilySearch center leadership, the information is given to the stake clerk who enters the information into the LCR (Leader and Clerk Resources). The new leaders contact needs to be entered into CDOL. The new leader's information, however, is not moved into CDOL from the LCR, nor can it be entered in CDOL by the stake clerk.
The new FamilySearch center leadership must contact FamilySearch to update the information in CDOL by doing the following:
- Email oiservices@churchofjesuschrist.org.
- Provide the FamilySearch center name or unit number.
- Provide the title of the assignment as:
Temple and Family History Consultant - FamilySearch Center. - Provide the new leader's full name.
- Provide the new leader's Church membership number.
- Provide the new leader's preferred email address and phone number.
Information about authorized centers is available to Church members and the public on both churchofjesuschrist.org and FamilySearch.org. People can find the closest FamilySearch center's address, hours of operation, and contact information based on the information that appears in the CDOL.
