Move Sealing to Parents Ordinance Patricke Foster ID LZJS-3CV

Stephen Alan Draper

Please forward this request to the Temple Ordinance Department:

Patricke Foster ID LZJS-3CV currently shows a sealing to parents Thomas Foster ID LZJS-3CV and Jane Hilton ID LV5J-KW6. This sealing does not pertain to Patricke Foster. It pertains to Thomas Foster. I have created a new record for Thomas Foster ID G8WH-PKW with the correct information. The Sealing to Parents should be moved to that record.

This is done in accordance with the Family Search Instructions provided in Article Id: 1099 dated April 20, 2020 titled "How do I fix a merge that has information from multiple people in Family Tree. The last paragraph of that article is quoted as follows: "FamilySearch has a tool that allows administrators in FamilySearch Support to move ordinances from one person to another in Tree. With this tool, FamilySearch Support can see the information that was present when the ordinance was performed and can get the correct ordinances to display. Please contact FamilySearch Support if you need further assistance to resolve an issue."

Patricke Foster ID LZJS-3CV record had multiple records merged into it before being put on Family Search in 2012 as is evident from the history of alternate names. The original name of the record was Thomas Foster born 1494 in Adderston, Northumberland, England and death 18 November 1573 in Wing Buckinghamshire, England. The ordinances of baptism, confirmation, initiatory, endowment, and sealing to spouse Helene Greenway ID LZZ7-FRM pertain to Patricke Foster, not Thomas Foster. The sealing to parents that needs to be moved pertains to Thomas Foster and not Patricke Foster.

There are 5 other sets of parents that the record shows this Patricke Foster being sealed to which I am still researching.

This shows that the record was changed from Thomas Foster to Patrick Foster. The record was hijacked.

You will need to un-merge all the Patrick Foster's from Thomas Foster's real record to restore Thomas's Ordinances.
