"Baby" blessing for older child, record help
Posted: Fri Feb 08, 2019 1:56 am
Hello friends,
We have a couple who were baptized in 2016. About a year later they blessed their then 2 year old, now 3 year old daughter, whose birthday was 2015. I just noticed that while she's listed as a child under the family tabs of her parents, there is no record associated with her. If I print a member list, the household shows her parents but not her.
If I edit her information it asks "is the child a member" and if I select "Yes" it asks me for a MRN (which she obviously doesn't have because she wasn't BIC and isn't yet baptized, makes sense). If I select "I Need to Create a Record" it asks me to follow normal record creation procedure. If I follow normal procedure it tells me that I'm creating a duplicate record and to "only proceed if record is being created for a different person".
So, just looking for some technical guidance on how to proceed. Do I create the duplicate record and then delete the previous child information? Or am I doing something completely wrong?
Just trying to get her to show up in the household. :p
Thanks in advance,
