Personal temple ordinance reservation lists in FamilySearch now have a maximum of 300 rows of reservations per user. This update is to encourage members to not reserve more names than they can realistically get done.
As Latter-day Saints share family names, other relatives and Church members can help complete the ordinances. In this way, Church members can help each other fulfill sacred obligations to their deceased ancestors. In a letter written Oct. 8, 2012, the First Presidency encouraged those with large numbers of reserved family names to “release these names in a timely manner so the necessary ordinances can be performed.”
