One of the pictures I uploaded is shown above. It is small, just 2&#215;3&#8243;, and sits in a frame in my kitchen. It is special because it shows my great-grandmother Alli, on the right, seated with the children, smiling. Since discovering this photo in 2013, we have found more photos of Alli smiling, but this was the first. Alli died 3 1\/2 years after this photo was taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The photo is well-labeled on the back, and the label identifies the two children are who are celebrating birthdays, plus one other name, Ellen. She sits above the party on the right. As I tagged her in the photo, I realized that this is the only photo on Family Search for this woman, who is my great-great aunt. Then I noticed that her temple work has not been done. As I continued tagging, I saw that there are temple ordinances waiting to be done for the birthday children, specifically for the birthday boy, second from the left on the bottom row. He was killed in WWII and left no descendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This photo now holds even more importance for me. If I hadn&#8217;t decided to  share and tag this photo, how would I have known there are handfuls of temple ordinances to be done for these people? There are no coincidences in temple and family history work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, I took an hour to upload a few photos to the Family Search website and tag the names of my ancestors.
