Person sealed to the wrong brother.

Joseph Ulderic Lambert LCWK-32V was married to Sarah Ann Cummings 9FWH-GLM,

I find them in the 1920 US Census, Detroit, Michigan. The wife's name is a nickname because her name is the same as the mother . I have found the marriage record 3 Sep 1910 in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. of Joseph Ulderic born 12 Apr 1880 in St. Eleuthere, Quebec, Canada to Sarah Ann Cumming. I also find the WWI Draft record with Joseph Ulderic Lambert b. 12 Apr 1880 with a spouse Sarah Ann Lambert.

I have found Joseph Ulderic Lambert LCWK-32V and his brother Joseph Napoleon Lambert LZ6Q-C56 in the Drouin Parish Registers on Ancestry.com baptisms, both sons of Louis Honore Lambert and Sophronia Paradis. I find in the Massachusetts, US, Fall River marriage records 1840-1915 a marriage for Joseph N Lambert and Victoria Boudreau (9ACC-K7F). Family search shows Joseph Ulderic marrying Victoria, which is wrong. Do I redo the sealing and how is this corrected? 🙄

There is an article in the Help Center that addresses this issue. We will post the link below.

Here is part of that article:

If a person was sealed to the wrong spouse, you can resolve the issue in Family Tree.

Steps

1. As needed, add the correct spouse to Family Tree.
2. Remove the incorrect spouse from the family.
3. Request and perform needed ordinances for any new people you added to the family.
4. Request and perform the needed sealing.

Note: In order for the sealing to spouse ordinance to show, the couple relationship must exist. You do not need a marriage date when you create the relationship.

When you delete a couple relationship, any sealing ordinance between the two shows as "Not Available."

If you would like help with these corrections, please let us know.

Best wishes.
