Hi. I have several pioneer ancestors who went to the temple with their wife and were sealed to several of the wife's relatives who died as spinsters, in the belief that this would help them gain the celestial kingdom. These women they were never married to in this life show up as marriages in nFS. I understood from talking to Ron Tanner some time ago that when nFS migrated to FamilySearch Family Tree this would solve the problem as the temple records would be another source, not an integral part of the record. However, they still come over into Family Tree as marriages. Does anyone know if there anything that can be done to correct this now or in the near future?

Marriage sealings in the Temple would show up as marriages, even though the couple never lived together as man and wife in this life. For all practical things, they're still marriages. If the sisters don't want it, they don't have to accept it. Karen On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 8:27 AM, DORIS BATEMAN <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi.

This is being worked on and will be solved when NFS changes to the Family Tree at www.familysearch.org. Sealings will no longer create relationships. Ron Tanner and his team are working on it now and it will be incorporated as soon as possible.
