Once you have done some geneology work and found ancestors who have not had their temple work done, you need to either download the Personal Ancestral File program from www.familysearch.org, or take the information to a church Family History Center. The best way to do this all accurately is to contact the closest Family History Library. You can go to the "Related Link" below to find the information for the nearest one. The directions from the Personal Ancestral File program say this:

When you have gathered and recorded information about your ancestors, Personal Ancestral File can help you submit their names for temple work.

If the Windows® version of FamilySearch™ TempleReady is available: The Windows version of FamilySearch TempleReady is available in many Family History Centers and Church meetinghouses worldwide. If it is available in your area, you must use it to prepare names for temple work. You can use either of these methods: * Take the .paf file directly to the TempleReady computer. TempleReady can select individuals directly from the .paf file and prepare a submission disk for the temple. It can also compare the individuals in the .paf file against the Ordinance Index. If it finds completed ordinances, it can copy the dates and temple codes directly into the .paf file. If the .paf file fits onto a floppy disk, copy it to a floppy disk and take it to the TempleReady computer. If the .paf file does not fit on a floppy disk and if the TempleReady computer also has Personal Ancestral File 5.0, make a backup copy of the .paf file. Use Personal Ancestral File 5.0 to restore it onto the TempleReady computer. You can then use the .paf file in TempleReady. * If you cannot or do not want to use the above option, use the Export to TempleReady feature in Personal Ancestral File to select the individuals that you want to submit and to create a GEDCOM file that you can then use in TempleReady for Windows. TempleReady will prepare a submission disk, which you then take to the temple. The temple staff will print family name cards and give them to you. As ordinances are performed, add the dates to the .paf file. Important:You must use TempleReady for Windows if you submit individuals who have nonroman characters in their records. Nonroman characters include characters from languages such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. If the DOS version of FamilySearch TempleReady is available: If the DOS version of TempleReady is available, use the Export to TempleReady feature in Personal Ancestral File to select the individuals that you want to submit and create a GEDCOM file that you can then use in TempleReady for Windows. TempleReady will prepare a submission disk, which you then take to the temple. The temple staff will print family name cards and give them to you. As ordinances are performed, add the dates to the .paf file. If the Windows version of FamilySearch TempleReady is not available: If the Windows version of TempleReady is not available in your area, follow this process: * Select the names in Personal Ancestral File, and have it determine whether you have enough information for the ordinances to be performed. * Send a copy of this file to the temple, where workers prepare cards for you. * As ordinances are performed, add the dates to the .paf file.

What church does baptisms for the dead with fabreze since they are all dead and stinky?

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) performs baptisms for the dead. However, these baptisms are done by proxy - meaning a living person stands in for the deceased and is baptized in their behalf. There are no dead bodies involved, and therefore no febreeze or air fresheners of any kind.

Do Mormons believe you can baptize the living in place of the dead?

Yes. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) believe that all men must be offered a chance to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ and be saved. For this reason they participate in baptisms in behalf of those who died without having the chance to accept the gospel. Church members believe that those for whom the baptism is performed will have the opportunity to accept or reject that baptism in the afterlife. Baptisms for the dead must be performed by members of the church over age 12 who have been given a recommend from their bishop. Baptisms are performed in the church's temples in a special baptismal font reserved only for this ordinance. You can learn more about baptisms for the dead and see photographs of temple baptismal fonts at the "Related Links" below.
