Hello @Ray Siddoway Broadbent

As @DianaHawks indicated, FamilySearch does not display the ordinances for living people.

You can see your ordinances in ChurchofJesusChrist.org (look up your household), or in the Church Member Tools phone APP, or through your Ward Clerk who can give you a print out.

Hi Ray.

Your sealing to Deena Lee Fackrell will show after your death is recorded. Ordinances for those who are living do not show on Family Tree

Sealing to Spouse ordinance listed as "Not Available" in Family Tree

If a couple’s sealing-to-spouse ordinance is listed as "Not Available," it means one of these things:

• The couple does not have a relationship defined in Family Tree. To fix this problem, add marriage information.
• The couple is ****. A clarifying message is provided on the screen in these cases.
• One of the spouses listed in the relationship is still living.

Thanks for the question, Ray. The reason the sealing is "Not Available" is that one of the people involved in the ordinance (you) is still living, so the information is hidden for privacy reasons. See "In Family Tree, what does "Not available" mean?" in FamilySearch Help - https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/in-family-tree-what-does-not-available-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.

You can ask your Ward Membership Clerk for a copy of your "Individual Ordinance Summary" to verify that the ordinance was properly recorded. You can also see the information in the "Member Tools" app if you have it on your mobile device. Find your name in the membership list, click on "Household", then scroll to "Membership Information" and you can view all the ordinances you have participated in, including the sealing to your spouse. I hope this helped.
