My Aunt has been sealed to her 2nd husband not 1st & father of her children.
My Aunt has been sealed by someone to her 2nd husband and not her 1st who is the father of her children. Her first husband is not entered in FamilySearch and there is no record there for him yet. It would seem that whomever sealed her to her 2nd husband was not aware of her first husband. Her 1st husband died. There was no divorce. What steps do we need to do to rectify the error?

If you have the birth and death information, including locations and marriage date. You can put him in under "Add Spouse when you are in your aunts records. You will then need to show the children with her first husband and your aunt, so the children attach to them. After he is in the system, he will need the ordinances completed before sealing your aunt to her first husband.
A woman can be sealed to more than one husband.

@teresagaywadsworth1 . In the case where your aunt has not been sealed to the father of her children, nor to herself. You may want to consider adding him to your Aunt, as his spouse, then adding all of his children to that couple. If, as you mentioned, then the children may be added m by their existent ID number to their father. If there was a step relationship with 2nd husband, the children may also be added * again by their ID number) to the step father and that relationship designated as step. You may find these instructions in the Help Center, using search term. add spouse, How do I add a spouse or partner in Family Tree? or how to designate step relationship How do I specify biological, step, adopted, and foster relationships in Family Tree?
