Rory Trask's four family lines, and the temple work still waiting for our ancestors and their families. So far: each grandparent’s direct ancestors in FamilySearch, back about eight generations, plus those ancestors’ children and spouses. The cousin branches below them are being searched now and added as each line finishes, and names are being checked against Ancestry records a batch at a time. Only people who have died are included.
Rory signed in to his own FamilySearch and free Church Ancestry account, and Claude searched his four lines at a gentle pace, first up through his ancestors and then down into the cousin branches.
This public page shows numbers only. The names stay with the family, who request them for their own relatives.
In a family that's been researched for generations, the direct line of grandparents and great-grandparents is usually finished. The work that's still waiting sits off to the side: the brothers and sisters of those ancestors, their children, and their grandchildren, the cousin branches nobody followed all the way down.
So each line is searched in two directions. First we climb from the grandparent to about eight to ten generations of ancestors. Then from every one of those ancestors we come back down two to four generations, going further for the older ones, whose families have had more time to spread. Every person found who has died gets their temple work checked. One couple from the 1700s can lead to hundreds of relatives, which is why the numbers on this page grow as the search goes deeper.
Some names that FamilySearch shows as ready turn out to be duplicates, such as a second set of parents for someone already sealed. Those are counted as waiting until they're checked, not as ready.
Every ordinance still needed, and what it's waiting on. Ready ones can be requested today by the family. Waiting ones open up as earlier ordinances are done or missing details are added.

“Still needed” counts every ordinance not yet recorded: ready to request, already reserved by someone, or waiting on more information or an earlier ordinance. Couple sealings are counted once per couple, under the men.
Everyone found, by the place they were born (or died, when no birthplace is recorded), including those whose work is all done. Zoom in to split a region into towns.
