You could call local unit support. They might have that information.

I suppose there is a small possibility. But the church doesn't retain who performed a baptism so I don't think it's likely that they retain where a baptism occurred.russellhltn wrote:You could call local unit support. They might have that information.

Re: find place of baptism
Long time ago (but after they stopped recording that information), when I talked to them, they could tell me what ward did what to the record.eblood66 wrote:But the church doesn't retain who performed a baptism so I don't think it's likely that they retain where a baptism occurred.
What I do know is what the wards are allowed to see is only a part of the complete record. CHQ has more - if for nothing else, auditing and tracking. But since it really has nothing to do with the member's spiritual progression, that information is not shared with the wards.
I believe that's the primary reason that if a member demands to see their records that they be referred to CHQ - which has the complete record.

They should at least have record of what ward her records started out in at the time of her baptism.
