Is it possible to put a note for future researchers to not seal a couple who are divorced and have died?

    There is no way to prevent Ordinance being performed in the future.

    You can put a 'Note' in a number of places; in fact, the SAME 'Note' in each of those places; but, unfortunately, that 'Note' DOES NOT guarantee that another Member User/Patron will NOT go ahead anyway and "Seal" such a "Couple".

    .

    Been there, done that ...

    .

    For such an IMPORTANT note, I like to add the SAME note in as many places as possible.

    .

    I would add the same note in ALL the following places:

    (1) Person/Details ...

    - Like Sketch

    - Other Information - Customs Fact

    - Collaboration:

    ... - Notes

    ... - Discussions (at least they CANNOT be "Deleted" by Others)

    (2) Couple Relationship ...

    - Relationship Notes

    .

    Some Member Users/Patrons will read such 'Notes' and disregard.

    .

    Some Member Users/Patrons DO NOT even read such 'Notes'.

    .

    Some Member Users/Patrons talk the 'stance' that it is NOT up to us to make such a judgement call (even with supporting evidence; as, I had).

    .

    You can only do what you can.

    .

    If another Member User/Patron comes along later (especially, after your passing) and does the Work; then, 'such is like'.

    .

    I have even "Reserved" and "Retained' the "Sealing to Spouse" so that no other User/Patrons could "Reserve" and undertake it, even to the extent of "Re-Reserving" after each x2 Year "Expiry" period; but, unfortunately, I missed a x2 Year "Expiry" period; and, within a day or two, it was 'schnavelled-up' by a Member User/Patron using one of those "Crawler" 'Bots', for "Green" Temple 'Icons'. That was disappointing.

    .

    There is know-way to stop such from happening.

    .

    I know that this does not help; but, I hope that it gives you some perspective.
