Temple Districts In Transition
The table below shows the state of temple districts in transition to NFS. The FOR column indicates temples that can process Family Ordinance Requests, even though the temple may not be using NFS to record ordinances. All registered family history consultants have access to NFS. New consultants can register at https://consultant.familysearch.org/ and receive access to NFS after one or two days. (I don't recall the exact number at the moment.)

San Diego temple district has neen told to prepare to convert to nFS the week after Thanksgiving.
That's great news, Gary. Keep us informed.

The Family History Directors in the Nashville Temple district are now allowed to access and use NFS. We were told to prepare ourselves to train the rest of our staff. I assumbe this means we will be rolled out shortly.
Dear rcollester3,
No, unfortunately, the FHC directors in all US/Canada FHCs got the same letter. You're a phase 3 temple district, so I'm guessing you'll have to wait until the spring of 2008.

I was just at the Spokane Temple and was told that they just received word that they will get it "The first of the year." I asked "January 1st?" and he said "That's what it sounds like, but there have been delays."

Dear DMV,
Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the info, Richard. I'll update this article with the information.

FYI: Raleigh Temple district began receiving official notice of a 4-month rollout on Dec 20th, but the memo was dated Dec 4th. Not sure which date to start the countdown on, but am hoping it will be the earlier. ;)
I was at the Palmyra Temple this past week. They said NFS should be there by summer. 1 person said they heard this June or July.
Just received the go-live message for Manhattan Temple District. The go-live date is today, May 6, 2008.

CORRECTION- I just received another email correcting the go-live date for Manhattan. It is now 20 May 2008.

James and Richard,
Thanks for the info.

The map hasn't been displaying for several days. The problem occurs with both IE and FireFox and on different computers. Anyone else having this problem?
It would be helpful if you could number the announced temples like you have those that have gone live. I like to get a number and it is hard to count when you have to scroll down to see them all. Thank you for keeping us updated on this roll out.
Dear Allen F,
I can successful see the maps at two different locations.
If all the computers that won't show the map are located at the same place, it could be a problem with an anti-pornography filter. Because the map is hosted on a photograph hosting site, it is hard for some filters to decide what accounts or photographs are safe to show.
Try computers at a different place, such as a friend, a FHC or a public library.

Dear Anonymous Number Lover,
Thanks. And thanks for the suggestion. That's a good idea. So far I've not done so for three reasons:
1. Additions to the list of temples that are using NFS occur at the end, making numbering easy. Additions and removals to the list of temples that have been notified are random, making numbering a pain. (I should experiment with some HTML that would automatically do the numbering. Let me think that over.)
2. The list of temples using NFS is released by the Church and is definate and concrete. The list of temples that have been notified is compiled from consultants in each district and is subject to error. Consequently, the number is somewhat meaningless.
3. I'm lazy. Well, actually, I just have limited time.
Thanks again for your feedback.

Good Job! :)
Portland is now open - a few days ahead of schedule. Woo Hoo! - finally.
