Sealing to Parent Valid but Parents not listed
I have 8 children that were sealed to their parents on the dates of (3 on) 10 Apr 1940 in SL and on (5 on) 3 Mar 1954 in SL. I have read the Blue Box to the right of the sealing indicating that they are not listed either because of privacy or because they do not match the parents listed in Family Tree. The individuals lived in the mid 1700s to mid 1800s so it isn't an issue of privacy that I can see. Therefore if the ordnance is valid why not list the parents.
My confusion stems from Ebenezer Mack GH15-HL4 and wife Abigail Davis LTX8-WVL. It looks like when I read the changes page that Ebenezer Mack was added on 3 Mar 2021. The source information is correct and matches what I have researched. they then added John Mack (LHX&-YJ4) and Love Bennett (L4BT-4BQ) as his parents. On April 25, 2021 there was a merge of GH15-HL4 and GC77-VFH. then there was an addition of Abigail Mack (G8NK-M23) and then a deletion of he and a possible merge of G8NK-M23 and LZJ7-32S with the LZJ7-32S surviving. Then another Abigail was added (G8LS-J3V) then deleted a couple of days later.
Sorry for the convoluted mess. In my research I have found there there were to Ebenezer Macks living in Lyme, New London during this time period. The second Ebenezer married a Hana Huntley. The first possibly married an Elizabeth Bishop also, I don't believe he did as there is no verifiable source.
Abigail Davis Mack's parents are listed as Daniel Davie and Abigail Worman. She was possibly married a 2nd time to John Mack Jr. and also to a Hill the first time by which she supposedly had Abigail, Thus creating an Abigail Hill Davis (she was said to have been adopted by her step-father Davis.
After all that I am trying to locate in your records the names that have been deleted from the Family Tree records to determine if the original ordinance, which you listed as valid, is in actuality the correct parents.
