This topic shows you how to move a member from an existing family to a new family. This process comes in handy when you need to create a new family record for a divorced family member or for an adult member who moves into his or her own residence.

If necessary, edit the record. Then, save your changes using one of the Save button options.

After you save the information, the system does the following:

Assigns the parish that made the move as owner of the new family record.
On the Family Details tab in both the original and new family records, documents the move in the Notes section.
Notifies the parish of registration about the move. (Other parishes to which the original family is associated with do not receive notification.)
