Today I had to remind one member of my ward that she can't do anything about her own birth father because his wife is still living and has to wait until his wife is dead first, in accordance with the regulations. She can do her father's siblings as all are deceased and all spouses are deceased with most of them having no children. David Samuelsen

Are you sure the regulations say that about a birth father? I understood that you can always do the work for your direct line ancestors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "W.

If she is his stepmother, then he can do the work. If she is his mother, then He cannot.
