Hi Listmembers I hate to be a wet blanket here, but there are members of our list that are not interested in the theology being discussed. If possible, could everyone take this to each individual who requests the answers? I don't want to discourage information exchange, but this has become too deep a topic for this list that is to help us find the histories of our ancestors. Certainly, these LDS pioneer ancestors of our believed deeply in this topic of temple sealings, but some of their descendants don't. I hope I haven't offended anyone by asking that this discussion be made a private discussion. Don't hesitate to ask questions! If the answer should be given privately, then it really should just go to the individual seeking the answers. Being impartial when I believe strongly in the subject is hard. But, for those that just do not want to hear theology, they need to have their voice heard, too. If the question deals with ships, trails, trials, immigration, histories, settling of towns, a testimony from your ancestor, stories of building the temples, pioneer stories, that's different. Post away! Let's lighten up the discussion just a bit ;) Terri
