requesting permission

Frances Swendsen

I would like to request permission to do the temple work for my great aunt, Ruth Edna Park (LJH6-DY7). She was born in 1922 and died in 2016. I have done all of the work for her parents and siblings. There is no living person to ask permission. Her parents, siblings, husband and children are all deceased. I have had a strong feeling that she wants to be sealed to her family.

I would also like to do the work for her husband, John William McCrum (KXVY-VCW). He also has not living parents, siblings, spouse or children.

Lastly, I would like to do the work for their son, John Albert McCrum (KN14-65R). His parents and sister are deceased and he was not married.

I will have to ask permission from Ruth's daughter's (Judith Ann McCrum) children, which I will do.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Thank you for your question about doing ordinances for your aunt , Ruth Edna Park and her family. You can perform temple ordinances for aunts and uncles to whom you are biologically related. You can also do temple ordinances for their spouses and children. However, you should not do temple ordinances for the spouse’s extended family (parents, siblings, and so forth).

For example, you can do ordinances for your father’s sister (your aunt) and for her husband (your uncle). You can do ordinances for their children (your cousins). You should not do ordinances for your uncle’s extended family (parents, siblings, and so on).

If any of these relatives were born in the last 110 years, please obtain permission from a close living relative first.
