Confirming Ordinances
I've been working on the Tams line this week. After struggling at the ends of the line and not finding any links, I've decided to change my approach. I am working from my closest ancestors. I am 1) Confirming that all of their ordinances are done and 2) Confirming that all of their children's ordinances are done (including sealed to spouse). So far I have confirmed up to my Great-Great Grandparents on the Tams line (Elijah TAMS etc.). I am waiting, though, for some information on Boston & Leon Richman (Leon is the son of John William RICHMAN & Jane Charlotte SINFIELD -- and the brother of Zoe Sinfield RICHMAN). I can't find information on Leon's descendants -- but did find a website of a "Lynn RICHMAN" which has pictures suggesting they are descendants. Temple Ordinance Records show that Boston & Leon received their endowments on the same day that they were married -- which suggests to me that they were also sealed that day. However, the Ordinance Records do not show a "Sealed to Spouse." I sent an email to that site -- hoping for a positive indication that they were sealed (I'm 99% sure that they were).
