perhaps you might find clues in this website --

https://new.familysearch.org/en/static/help/pdf/qsg_whats_new.pdf

It's seems to be the latest version of a linked Ancestral File, and 
includes the ability to do the Mormon ordinances online in real time -- 
currently available only by password from your stake president, meaning 
you need to be Mormon, it has been in a sorta beta test mode for the 
last year and a half or so, and I hear it is getting closer to being 
released to public availability.  Note the list of approved software to 
access it in the link provided.  Last I heard (September), Mormons in 
the SLC area did not have access as the Church just wanted to test it, 
not overload it initially.  I did not note any reference to it in the 
FHL in SLC when we were there.

The only reason I know anything about it is that I use the Ancestral 
Quest software, and since it is approved for nFS, there is some 
discussion of it on the AQ group talk lists.

So what it means is that Ingrid is Mormon.

There is also another FamilySearch resource that maybe y'all haven't 
noticed, and that is http://pilot.familysearch.org/ -- try it to see 
what is available there.  Some interesting search abilities and 
resources ...
