Hello,
I am unsure how to record the death of a spouse to an active member. The spouse that died is not a member. Is there a way to record it in MLS? Do you just erase the record of the deceased spouse and it can be brought back by family history?

Re: Death of non member spouse
Terminate the marriage using the Membership > Records > Terminate Marriage menu option. Select Death as the reason. That will remove the current spouse in MLS but their marriage status will be Widowed and I believe the marriage information will be retained in Family Search (although it won't be visible to anyone except the member while they still live).Priesthood52 wrote:Hello,
