Add a New Family Member
This is used to merge newly-married couples into one family, to make corrections when you find family members who are not in the same family in BVCMS and to add new members to a family - either when babies are born, or a family member visits for the first time.
NOTE: For newly-married couples who are both currently in the family with their parents, you will need to Split one of them out of their parents' family and then add the spouse to their family using these instructions. See Split Person from Family
- Using People Search, find a member of the family to which you want to add members (i.e. someone in the family to which you are adding someone)
- Click on the person's name
- Click the Family Members link then click Add Member(s) button (see screen shots below)
- Follow the Search Add Workflow - Search, Select, and then Commit and Add
- Verify that the Position is correct. If not, click in that field and a drop down will display. Select the correct Position and then click OK.
