I have the same problem with my family, my 3rd great grandparents have been sealed and all children sealed to them. I n the New Family Search they show all work completed, but in the Family search family tree they show many husbands and wives each that are not theirs and show their work incomplete.  I have been working on this for weeks, finally getting them together, but without temple work done.  Other husbands and wives never known to them are still showing as other husbands and wives.  Familysearch can't seem to correct this.  Also, a friend I am helping found her sister in law showing as deceased, I was there when she called her sister in law on the phone and although she is 92 years old, she is definitely alive.  We told family search that news and they have to investigate since she is not the one who put that information in the record.  It was added by some distant relative who is not known to the immediate family.  It is frustrating to deal with all of these discrepancies, but they are caused by people who do not do the research and how do we educate them as to the importance of researching before they enter the information?

I had the second problem as well with an aunt who is very much alive, but who a different relative by marriage had listed as "deceased" without checking (this relative had also submitted a temple work request for the women's deceased daughter without seeking permission).  I only knew about the error because of the temple work submission, which the other relative graciously unreserved once I politely reminded her of the church policy to seek permission from the nearest relative (the deceased women had both siblings and at least one parent -- the mother -- alive).   I did a report to FamilySearch, and was asked to provide a current address and phone number for the women erroneously listed as deceased (I actually told them I had called my aunt personally and talked to her as well).  The record was corrected within 48 hours.    Carolyn White (Arlington, VA) --- On Wed, 5/22/13, Betty Jo and Don Colbert <donbjc@comcast.net> wrote: From: Betty Jo and Don Colbert <donbjc@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] sealings problem To: lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, May 22, 2013, 9:54 AM I have the same problem with my family, my 3rd great grandparents have been sealed and all children sealed to them.
