I work as a Family History Consultant for the ward and I have a lady with no computer skills - she wants to be sealed to her Step Father. Since she is living, I can't print out an ordinance card for her. She has not gone to the temple for 13 years and really wants to do this as her first ordinance. Here is her information:

I have listed June as "step" for her relationship to him

Can you please help me?

Thanks so much,

    @Lawna Dewsnup , since she is Living she should contact her Bishop to get her recommend and call her local temple and make an appointment to be sealed to her deceased step-father. They will walk her through the process. There are several possible steps that may be needed, depending on whether her mother is living or deceased and depending on the mother’s temple marriage status with the stepfather etc.

    Also maybe a MOD could move this post to the Temple category and remove personal identifying information.
