How do I add a reminder?

Creating a reminder in Eternal Reminder takes only a few minutes. Once set up, you’ll receive an email on your ancestor’s 110th birthday to remind you that temple work can now be requested.

Steps to add a reminder

1. Sign in to eternalreminder.org using your FamilySearch account.
2. In FamilySearch, find the ancestor you want to set a reminder for.
3. Copy their FamilySearch ID (a combination of letters and numbers, usually found near their name).
4. Return to Eternal Reminder and paste the ID number into the new reminder page
5. Click to save your reminder.

That’s it. Eternal Reminder will automatically calculate your ancestor’s 110th birthday and send you an email on that date.

Important details

Reminders can only be created for ancestors whose 110th birthday is within the next 5 years.

If you’ve enabled Additional Features on your account, you can set reminders up to 10 years in advance.

You can manage or delete existing reminders anytime by signing back into eternalreminder.org.
