Sealing to spouse correct in Family group sheet

ThrapBrianJames

I have found that when there are multiple sealings to spouses for an individual, the family group sheet does not reflect the sealing to spouse for the selected couple but instead the most recently entered sealing to spouse (not sure what the exact aggregation is as it's not always the most recent date, but it seems to maybe be the most recently entered date, like from a merge). I would like to know how to configure this appropriately or get the bug fixed so that family group sheets don't have to be manually updated for information that's already in family search.

Hi, Welcome to family search community. Relative to your question about ordinance dates, family search displays the earliest date recorded for the ordinances. Even after an appropriate merge, it is still the earliest date that is displayed. If inappropriate merges have been done, they should be restored so the correct ordinance information is displayed. If you have evidence of earlier dates than displayed in Family Search, then you should contact Family Search through Community. Here is an articles which explains in more detail. Hope this addresses your question.

I understand that point, let me attach what I’m seeing

You can see below, that Frances Ann Mears (KWNV-MBV) was married to 4 husbands, three of which she has been sealed to:

These were all done on different dates and different temples.

However, when I look at the Family Group sheet for Frances with any of these marriages, they all reflect the same sealing to spouse date.

Sealing to spouse is filled in for Frances Ann Mears (which is here sealing date to Theodore Curtis) in her family with James Edward Walton, even though this sealing hasn't yet been completed (as evidenced by his lack of sealing to spouse)

Same thing occurs with Samuel Rowley. Frances Ann Mears still has the sealing to spouse date consistent with her sealing to Theodore Curtis while Samuel Rowley's sealing to spouse matches up with another of his wives (Diana Bartlett).

This is not an issue of the same ordinance being done for the same two people multiple times, as I'm sure that is a common occurrence and I've come across a number of those instances in the past. Instead, this is a coding bug, where when the information goes out to fill in the family group sheet, it is representing different spousal relationships than those in the family group sheet. Please let me know if you understand or if I still need to provide more evidence of this bug.
