In looking at Luisa's person page I see some research hints that need to be attached.

Here are some help articles that will assist you with that: https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-research-helps-in-family-tree https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-attach-record-hints-in-family-tree

It will be important to attach proof of her death as well. If you can scan and attach in her memories a copy of her death certificate, a funeral program, a picture of her headstone or something like that it would be great.

This article may help you in answering the question needs more information.  https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/in-family-tree-what-does-needs-more-information-mean There are several articles at the bottom of this help article that you will want to review as well.

Here is some other items that you can verify:

Your ancestor’s person page needs the following information before you can request his or her temple ordinances. The information makes your ancestor’s person page unique and sets it apart from other profiles in our database.

Name

• Complete names are preferred.
• If you do not know the full name, a partial name is acceptable.
• For a female, use the maiden name.

Sex

• The sex must be marked male or female.

Death

• The life status must be marked as deceased.

Standardized date for at least one life event

• A standardized date must be selected for one of the following life events: birth, christening, marriage, death, or burial.
• At a minimum, the date must include the year.

Standardized place for at least one life event

• A standardized place must be selected for one of the following life events: birth, christening, marriage, death, or burial. This can be the same event associated with the standardized date or a different event.
• At a minimum, the place must include the country.

Additional information for sealings

When sealing a child to his or her parents, keep the following requirements in mind:

• You will need the name and sex of each parent.
• You will need information regarding each parent’s death.
• This information must be properly recorded in Family Tree before you can request the ordinance.

When sealing spouses, keep the following requirements in mind:

• You will need the name and sex of each spouse.
• You will need a standardized date and standardized place for a life event for each individual. A life event is a birth, christening, marriage, death, or burial.
• The standardized date and standardized place can be for the same event or different events.

Also, go through the sources of of her husband, her children, her parents and siblings. Make sure that there are no unfinished attachments. Sometimes a duplicate will show up and that would need to be merged.

Another Idea is that if she was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the time of her death, make sure that her ward clerk has marked her as deceased on her Church records. I see that she passed in 2020 and with Covid 19 some of those changes to Church records did not happen. If she was a member and the ward clerk marks her as deceased any previous ordinances will show as completed in FamilySearch.

Be a good detective and look through everything.

Hopefully that will help.

Thank you for contacting FamilySearch. Best wishes as you continue finding records for your family.
