    @ecckirk

    FYI

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    [ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]

    Just in passing ...

    I Child cannot be "Sealed" to just one Parent alone.

    Here is a "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch':

    Can a child be sealed to parents when one of the parent’s names is unknown?

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/sealing-to-parent-ordinance-when-name-of-parent-is-unknown

    IF, the Child's Father, is "Unknown"; THEN, ...

    IF, the Child's Mother either, was "Married"; and/or, later "Married"; and/or, was in a "Relationship" with a Man; and, the Child was "Part", of any one of those "Relationships"; as, a Child; THEN, the Child can be "Sealed", to their ("Biological") Mother; and, that Man.

    Whereas ...

    Failing, any such "Relationships"; as, in the aforementioned ...

    The Child, can be "Sealed", to their "Maternal" Grandparents; so that, the Child is connected with the Family.

    ie. Their Mother; and, her Parents and Ancestors.

    To "Seal" a Child, to their Grandparents, one must setup a "Parent-Child" Relationship, between, the Child; and, their Grandparents; where, the "Type" of "Parent-Child" Relationship is "Guardianship".

    This "Type" of "Parent-Child" Relationship is simple to enabling the "Sealing" of the Child to their Ancestors.

    The "Type" of "Parent-Child" Relationship is ALWAYS "Retained"; but, is ONLY for "Temple" Work".

    Here is another "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch'"

    How do I seal a child to grandparents?

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-seal-a-child-to-grandparents

    Good Luck.

    Just my thoughts.

    I hope, that, this; and, these, may help/assist, somewhat.

    Brett
