Linking sister to deceased spouse?

Hi--I'm having an issue I'm hoping someone can help me with. One of the sisters in our ward was sealed to someone who subsequently died, and she later remarried. Her second husband also recently died. Her record only shows her being married to her second husband, and he is marked as deceased, but it looks like her sealing information isn't her Ordinances section at all. (There's a note in there saying she was sealed to her prior spouse, but that's the only evidence I have.) She would like her membership record to note the man to whom she is sealed, not the one to whom she was most recently married. Is there any way to do this?


Thanks,

I think that's all the membership information that is shared with the local unit will show.

It doesn't show prior spouses, even if sealed to them.

I believe that is correct as well. But the information is still retained in the membership record even if it isn't visible on the local level.

I believe that if marriage was linked correctly then she should be able to see the first husband and sealing details in Family Search.
