To further clarify, husband was a Non-Member. Seems that because a date of death was entered before date of Divorce, there is "no" "Change Marriage Status" button for me to select.
This has been a good thing; however, because I can use husbands information to help research names of their children, which were not added to her record, They had about 5 children, based on preliminary research. Haven't yet found any evidence that children were "blessed" or had "Membership Records" created for any of them.

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
Curious. Because I didn't think it was possible to record the death of a non-member. We've always told people who asked to terminate the marriage. Reason: death.jfackerson wrote:To further clarify, husband was a Non-Member.

I wouldn't create records for the children until you've reviewed Handbook 1: 13.6.2 item #4. Permission is required to create a Child of Record.jfackerson wrote:This has been a good thing; however, because I can use husbands information to help research names of their children, which were not added to her record, They had about 5 children, based on preliminary research.

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
It's actually 'Change Marriage Status' rather than 'Terminate Marriage' now but I expect that's what was done. In LCR, it looks like it continues to show information about deceased spouses at least for members (I can't find a non-member spouse situation in our ward to check). I'm guessing that it does for non-members too.russellhltn wrote:Curious. Because I didn't think it was possible to record the death of a non-member.

jfakerson, I'm pretty sure that you'll have to send a message or call local unit support and ask them to record the divorce. At this point, I don't think you can do it yourself.

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
I'd kind of expect it to show the spouse they are sealed to. But it would be something new if it showed ex-civil marriage only spouses.eblood66 wrote:In LCR, it looks like it continues to show information about deceased spouses at least for members (I can't find a non-member spouse situation in our ward to check).

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
I have deceased spouses which show a sealing date, don't show a sealing date and which say 'sealed to prior spouse'. So I don't believe is related to whether they are sealed or not.russellhltn wrote:I'd kind of expect it to show the spouse they are sealed to.

The examples I see in our ward show most recent spouse without regard to sealing status.eblood66 wrote:I have deceased spouses which show a sealing date, don't show a sealing date and which say 'sealed to prior spouse'. So I don't believe is related to whether they are sealed or not.

Re: Add divorce from previous spouse
Unless they're a convert, there's a good chance it's already on the records.
Keep in mind that what you see is only what the ward needs to know in order to help the member progress. It's not the full history.
If you want to follow up, I'd call support.
