Henry Standage KWJF-BWD
Henry was marriage to two women Sophornia Scott and Henerietta Rogers. Our family records show he was also sealed to three Scott women on 2 Oct 1873 in the Endowment House. There is a note on his file that these three women were Sohpornia's sisters and they were just sealed to him but never married to him. one is Laura Phidelia Scott L4C1-CZ9 and L4C1C9p. She was never married , second Matilda Aurilla Scott LC5M-FMX and LYFM-PB6 married to Benjamin Torrance and sealed, third Orph alvira 2Z96-JS6, not married. The sealings to Henry do not show up anywhere. Should they? If so how should this be done since they were never married. Should the first two be merged? This is confusing because they were never married. Any suggestions on what to do? I am okay with just ignoring it because the work was done and all the other ordinances have also been done.

In part it states: The purpose of Family Tree is to record actual family relationships. The relationships recorded in Family Tree should be genealogically accurate.During Church history, sealings were sometimes performed for people who had no family relationship during their lifetimes. For example, at one time, people were sealed to Church leaders rather than to their own parents, or an unmarried woman was sealed as a spouse to a priesthood leader. These are often called "law-of-adoption sealings."
You do not need to record these sealing-only relationships in Family Tree…
This is especially important because public cannot see ordinance information, but can see these “not in this life” relationships. Often they are biologically impossible because the parties did not share a common lifespan.
This can lead to much wasted effort and confusion trying to identify & source people and events.
