Recently, Ordinances Ready printed a temple card for a Clifford Ossorio. I recognized the name Ossorio. Dad's second cousin Florence Buchanan married a Philippine millionaire by that name. During WWII they were trapped in the Philippines when Japan invaded. And Florence was crippled by an American bomb during the liberation of the Philippines. When I checked FamilySearch, I discovered that the card was for Florence's husband Luis but the given name was wrong. This record was a less accurate duplicate of a record that gave the correct full name "Luis Cornelius Ossorio" with his full birth information and sources. So I merged them and printed a new card for him. which I took to the temple.
There was also a less-accurate record for Florence so I merged that record into the better one.
I have been told that there is no need to verify the accuracy of cards printed from Ordinances Ready, but in this case I was glad that I had, Because the given name on the original card was wrong, the system could not identify it as a duplicate.
How did I know which name was right? I just happened to have an old message from Luis' son saying "my father was Luis Cornelius Ossorio not Clifford Luis Ossorio".
In in the future, will I verify cards from Ordinances Ready? Probably not, unless something seems questionable. But I was glad I did it this time.
