Important Notice: This article applies to the New ParishSOFT Platform. If your diocese hasn’t migrated yet, explore our knowledge base for relevant resources.
Note: When creating a new Family Record it's necessary to conduct a search for the family to see if they already exist in the database. This prevents duplicate Family Records for the Diocese.
- In the Family Directory, click Family List at the top left corner.
- Select Add New Family.
- In the Find Family window, type the last name (if it is a common last name put in the first name of the head of household too) and click Search.
- If the family is found, you may select them and add them to your parish. You must determine if they will be added with an unregistered association only or if you want to bring them into your parish as a registered member.
- If the family does not display, click Add New Family
- You may add all of the family members on this very first page by selecting the Add Another Member option for each member until you have completed adding all members.
