Misc: On 7 Mar 1990 the Family History Dept of the CHurch returned one of my submission sheets in which I had requested the Sealing ordinance of marriage be cleared for Robert Ord Christian and his wife Alice Snider. Their civil marriage occurred on 15 Sept 1915. FHP would not clear sealing for anyone married in the last 95 years without proof of death. Therefore I must get this in the near future.
