Member Records Move Automatically after Boundary Change?

Question: when a ward boundary change occurs, do the records move automatically or does a clerk have to push or pull the records manually?

A clerk in the ward with the records has to move them to the new ward. There is a special boundary realignment function in LCR which can be used to move all the households in a single operation.

This tool preserves the address and other contact information that would normally be lost or have to be re-entered when doing a normal move.

The worst thing that could be done is do a normal move out to the new ward leaving the address blank. The receiving ward gets a bunch of records with no addresses.

The changes have to be made by a ward clerk. You will need to work with your ward clerks to make the changes.

Does it have to be a ward clerk, or can an assistant do it, or even a member of a bishopric?

I have a very unresponsive ward clerk and the new ward in anxious to get moving.

It has to be someone who can move records: Bishop, Ward Clerk, Ward Assistant Clerk, or Ward Assistant Clerk--Membership.

This is a process I always micro-managed as a Stake Clerk.. as well as Budget, Ward Missionary, and other Accounts.... sue me, it got done!

Nothing wrong with that. When you have unresponsive ward clerks, and new bishops who don't really know what to do, it can be frustrating.

How do I move the records of a missionary to the new ward after a boundary realignment? I am in the missionary family's new ward.
