my first husband passed and I was able to have his work done. He has 3 surviving brothers. In working at the family history center I found that his mother's work has been done but his father's has not. Who has to give permission for this to be done. I think one surviving son would, I know 1 son would NOT! I'm not sure about the other brother. I believe her work was done by her oldest brother's family. His work has been done but no other of their siblings have had their work done.

    @JudithHaddon4 , First you must be related to your husband's father. You may or may not be. (you would not necessarily be related through your late husband because of the marriage) Second if he was born within 110 years then either the spouse at the time of his death, a parent, a sibling or an adult child can give permission. There is no priority order. But we are cautioned not to cause any family contention or hard feelings. So, sometimes the best thing to do is to wait awhile. You kinda lost me on the last sentence, but the above principles apply to all situations.
