De facto relationships on Family Search
Hi,
I received the below question from a member/ friend in my ward. Please let me know what information we enter into familysearch.
“Do we create family search connections and do sealings for de facto couples? My step-grandfather lived with my grandma and they were together, but never got married. My grandma and grandpa (who were married) separated before this.”
To me, I wouldn’t seal/ marry 2 people unless they were willing to do the ordinance while living. But, does this means that the grandma won’t be sealed to anyone (as she divorced)? And what about her children, who are they sealed to?
Looking forward to hearing from you
thanks in advance, Leigh

@lele1 You can review sealing policies in the General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, section 38.4. It is available in the Gospel Library app or on churchofjesuschrist.org. If you have questions that are not addressed there, it would be best to ask your bishop for guidance. If he does not know the answers, he can contact the Stake President.
