adding in parents to create membership record form
I am attempting to create a membership record for a child who has received a baby blessing. I would prefer to be able to populate the form with both parent's names (they are members of the ward) prior to printing it, but there does not appear to be an option for me to add them in...... Also, the top of the page for creating the membership record asks for "Primary Household Contact". If I indicate the father of the child as the primary contact, when I go to create the membership record form, it places the father's name in the field that says "Name of person the child lives with (if OTHER than parents)". However, the child lives with his parents. It seems very odd.

Re: adding in parents to create membership record form
That does sound very odd. I am a ward membership clerk, so I have created a few records for children who have been blessed. I don't recall any difficulty entering the child's parents during the process to create the record, especially when the parents were members of the ward.
Oh, I think the key is to go the father's record, go to the Family tab, and scroll down to the 'Add Child' button. If I remember correctly, that does pre-populate the new child record with the information about the parents.
