Sealings for the dead, couples and children (includes some living spouses and children), 1956-1970,

Notes

SEALING SHEETS are family group records with an appended column on the right margin listing the proxies who performed the ordinances. The sheets are arranged chronologically by sealing date.

This file contains patron submitted sealings. Beginning in the 1960s, many names for sealings of children to parents were generated by the controlled extraction program. For these sealings through 1971, look under "Sealings for the dead, children to parents, controlled extraction, 1967-1971," in the author/title catalog. Extraction batches prior to 1970 were given a P number. Beginning in 1970 they were given a C number. For these batches look under "Endowments and sealings for the dead, controlled extraction," in the author/title catalog. Controlled extraction temple work can also be found in the topical catalog for either of these titles under "Temple records - Los Angeles Temple.".

In the 1970s the record of patron submitted sealings was divided into different files reflecting different processing procedures: 1) Family file--sealings cleared by the Genealogical Department and reserved for family members to perform at the temple, 2) Patron temple file--same as family file except the names were not reserved for family members, 3) Rush processing--family file given priority in processing, 4) Manual processing--sealings that could not be processed by the computer system for various reasons, 5) Temple originated records--sealings processed from patron records presented at the temple, 6) Family entry--sealings submitted on family group sheets.

Look for these records in the author/title catalog under: 1) Sealings for the dead, family file, 1970- . 2) Endowments and sealings for the dead, patron temple file, 1970- . 3) Sealings for the dead, rush processing, 1976-1981. 4) Sealings for the dead, manual processing, 1970-1981. 5) Temple originated records, 1970- . 6) Sealings for the dead, family entry, 1979-1981.
