No Marriage Date

Lindsey R Smith

I have two people in my family tree with a lot of documentation showing that they were married and had children, but I can't find their marriage record or date anywhere. Is it still possible to do their sealing, or do I need to find the date?

The short answer to your question is Yes, you can still do their sealing.

Below is a link to an article from the Help Center regarding information that is required to do temple ordinances.

According to the article:

When sealing spouses, keep the following requirements in mind:

• You will need the name and sex of each spouse.
• You will need a standardized date and standardized place for a life event for each individual. A life event is a birth, christening, marriage, death, or burial.
• The standardized date and standardized place can be for the same event or different events.

Best Wishes!
