Temple Names - Our Ward Temple and Family History Consultant, Brother Don Hammon has created a special group and link for The Sunset Ward.  This will allow those who have too many names or can't go to the temple and do the work themselves for whatever reason, the opportunity to add those names to this LINK so their temple work can be completed.
