Ordinances of a Deceased Person Are Hidden. Why???

Recently a friend asked how he could see the ordinances of his uncle who passed away two years ago.  I explained that Membership Department probably thinks he is still alive. I suggested that he ask his ward clerk to request the membership record and then record the death. Then Membership Department will make his record visible on FamilySearch and his ordinances will be shown.

This reminded me of my European friends wanting to be sealed to their parents last year. So I checked their mother's record. Her live and proxy ordinances are now visible, including sealing to her husband. 

The sealings of the living children are not shown in order to protect their own privacy.

But I am confident they happened. Bravo!


[NOTE: Ordinances of deceased excommunicated people become visible when their blessings have been restored.]
