Shelby v5.11Entering a Baptism and
Confirmation
Before you begin to enter a baptism, • first check to see if the person has already been
entered as a friend or miscellaneous name. • If not, you are ready to enter them into Shelby, see
“Entering Friend or a Non-member Parent”. • If the person is already in Shelby, you will use that
existing record to enter the baptism.
• Search for the name in the Name Filter.
• Double click the name.
• Click once on “Life Events” on the left side of the screen.
• Click the “Add New” button at the bottom right of the screen. This will bring up the data entry screen to enter life events.
• The top box will be “Description” and will say “Baby Blessing”, click on down arrow and choose “Baptism”.
• Add the baptism information:
Effective Date: Date of Baptism
Officiant: Enter the full name (first/middle/last). Note: make sure the officiant holds the proper Priesthood office. If an officiant from outside of your area has participated, you can call Membership Records to verify the Priesthood office held by that person. (Do not check “Use GlobaFILE”. When that is checked, the Officiant field is blank on the report that goes to Membership to generate the certificate.)
Tip: Type the first letter of the life event to bring it up, i.e. “b” for Baptism, “o” for Ordination. Type “d” once for Death and twice for Divorce.
