110 year barrier problem
my cousin, K8QPQDP died as an infant in 1920. With the 110 year rule I cannot
have her sealed to her parents who are deceased. All of her siblings are also
deceased, so there is no close relative to obtain permission from.
Is it possible for me to somehow complete this ordinance for her.
Thank you so much.
Her name is Lorraine Corless

Thank you for posting in the Community about ordinances where there are no living relatives. The following article gives details on this issue.
If the person is a relative and the person has no living close relatives, you can request permission to do the ordinances. If you do not know whether the person has living close relatives or if you cannot contact them, please do not request permission. Instead, do more research to find the closest living relative or prove that all close relatives are deceased.
The closest living relatives are an undivorced spouse (the spouse to whom the individual was married at death), an adult child, a parent, or a brother or sister.
If the person has no close living relatives to give permission, you can still request permission to do the ordinances. Please be prepared to provide evidence that all close relatives are deceased.
For more information on this topic, please consult the Church’s General Handbook: Serving in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 28.1.
