Ordinances need to be moved/corrected
The ordinances for John Finley Everly LC3D-65Q and his children have problems. The children, Carrie Mary Everly L84N-YB9, Squire Jesse Everly L84N-YYH, Simeon Harrison Everly LWWY-RYV, Walter Stanley Everly L84N-YVX, Hugh McKinney Everly L84N-YR3 and Nellie May Everly L84N-YTK all show with ghost parents. John Finley Everly LC3D-65Q was not showing with a SS ordinance, which he should have if the children were sealed to him.
It looks like Harriet Melissa Ash L84N-Y21 should be the mother of these children, based on change histories of all involved. Her change history has the name Harriett J Ash and the husband John F Everly L84N-Y2S (who was merged with John Finley Everly LC3D-65Q), and shows that she is the mother of the Everly children, but she also has the father Samuel Ash. Harriett J Ash was born in Kentucky and has a father of Squire L Ash. (See Harriett J Ash KJ57-32H and the records attached to her.). Harriet Melissa Ash L84N-Y21 looks like a combined person, because all of this information was added by FamilySearch and it represents two different Harrietts.
I tested in beta and restored Harriet Ash KZNC-MKH, who had been merged with Harriet Melissa Ash L84N-Y21, because I wanted to see which one contained the 1989 ordinances. I was hoping to find that the 1989 ordinances belonged to Harriet Ash KZNC-MKH and there would be 2014 ordinances that would match with the ordinances for John Everly and his children with Harriet Melissa Ash L84N-Y21 . That is not what I found. It seems that Harriet Ash KZNC-MKH is the one that John Finley Everly LC3D-65Q and the children were sealed to, but this makes no sense based on her change history. There is no evidence that she was ever associated with the Everly family in her change history. I restored her in the regular FamilySearch and added her to John Finley Everly LC3D-65Q as a spouse and the SS shows there too. However, I don’t want to merge her with Harriett J Ash to make the SP ordinances show correctly, because all of the information in her change history is for the other Harriet Ash and the 1989 ordinances seem to belong to the other Harriett Ash, since she was sealed to Samuel Ash KV36-18T and Mary Elizabeth Carleton in 1989. (Please see the sources attached to Harriet Melissa Ash L84N-Y21. She was born in Ohio.)
There doesn’t seem to be any way that I can fix this myself. I don't know which Harrietts to merge because the ordinances and change histories aren't making sense to me. Perhaps the ordinances didn't stay with the original records after they were merged and restored? Please send this to the department that can sort this out.
