Hidden Records in Family Tree

 

Hidden Records in Family Tree
In Family Tree, records of living people are hidden from everyone except the person who created them. 
And the record of
live ordinances of living members is visible only on the record created by Membership Department, and hidden from everyone else. Today I was contacted by a friend from Béziers, France asking the ordinance dates of his deceased mother. He and his sister want to be sealed to their parents, but their mother's completed ordinances are not shown on her record that is public.

What is the problem and what is the solution?
The problem is that Membership Department thinks she is still alive
, and is protecting her privacy.
The solution is to get her death recorded. The easiest way may be to have my friend's branch president request her membership and record her death. Then the private record will become public.
