Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints receive a message through FamilySearch's messaging system on the following occasions:

• When an ordinance that you reserved was completed and recorded at the temple.
  
  • You receive these notifications when ordinances on your reservation list are completed.
  • The notifications indicate that ordinances were recorded. Go to your completed ordinances list for details.
  • The notifications expire after 7 days then are automatically removed from your FamilySearch notifications.
