How can a deceased illegitimate child be sealed to its grandparents?
Can a living illegitimate child be sealed to its grandparents?

In both cases the parents are known but never lived together as a couple. I understand that the parents cannot be sealed because they never had a relationship. I heard that these children can be sealed to their grandparents but how can I make sure that the parent-child and grandparent-grandchild relationship will be correct?

Thank you

    Children who were born to parents who should not be sealed can instead be sealed to their grandparents who were married.

    How do I seal a child to grandparents?

    On occasion, you may need to link a child in Family Tree to grandparents or other foster parents for sealings to be performed.
