My father's (LXN8-7XB) ordinance information is marked as "Cannot Request - Not Available". What does that mean?

    The ordinance status "Not Available" means that the ordinance information for the person is unavailable to view.

    "Not Available" might appear for many reasons. The most common are the following:

    • Privacy reasons prevent display of the ordinances.
    • The individual is still living or death information is not recorded properly.
    • The person lived before A.D. 1500, and the ordinances are probably complete.
    • Additional approvals are required before you can perform ordinances for the person (such as for a famous person or Jewish Holocaust victim).
    • The person does not show a spouse or parents for sealing ordinances.

    Other reasons include the following:

    • A couple does not have a relationship defined in Family Tree or is in a **** relationship.
    • The record is about a Church member who died, and the death has not been recorded on his or her Church membership record.
    • One of the parties in a sealing is still living.

    Please see the bold item above, probably that is the reason, you might contact the ward clerk to find out if the record is still not updated.
