SP Prohobition

Serving as FamilySearch support missionaries, my wife and I have had several cases in which guests call because they cannot Seal a person to their Parents.

The reason is such that with simple programming the reason can be disclosed to the guest and the guest could solve the prohibition by themselves. Because the reason is not disclosed, the guest calls us to explain the reason for the prohibition.

The circumstances causing the prohibition are when one or both of a child’s parents have possible duplicates.

To ferret out this information we have to click on the parents, then find if one or both of the parents have possible duplicates, find the RIN for the possible duplicates, and proceed to merge, or dismiss, the possible duplicates.

It seems that if the system knows that the child cannot be Sealed to Parents (because of possible duplicate parents), that the system could disclose this fact with the parent(s) RIN(s) at the time the prohibition is presented.
