    1. [LDS-WC] re incorrect sealings
    2. Penny Holling
    3. This is the answer I received from family support on the question of incorrect sealings. I hope you find it as helpful as I did. Penny Holling We appreciate your diligence in maintaining accurate family history records. The sealing for Eric Olsen to Ole Byrnildson and Kirsti Olsdatter is valid because church policy states that sealings of children to parents performed after 1 July 1969 are valid even if a wrong mother's name is given. The word "mother" used in the temple ordinance takes precedence over any name that is given. Therefore, the relationship, at this time, will stay in new FamilySearch. You have put a dispute on his right mother, Marit Olsdatter, which you should remove, and put the dispute on the incorrect mother, Kirsti Olsdatter listing your sources. The sealing to spouse for Ole Byrnildson and Marit Olsdatter can be completed and a dispute put on the incorrect wife. New FamilySearch is consistently being improved to better assist patrons in resolving inaccuracies with their family pedigree. We believe that in the coming months that this sealing to parents will only show as an ordinance and not as a biological link. This may alleviate your concerns as to how this is displayed in new FamilySearch.
