I got Morman relatives. How does one figure out if they have been offering baptisms of the dead for members of my family?

Can this be researched online?

If they are devout there is a very good chance they have had baptism on behalf of your non-Mormon ancestors. This is a prime reason why the church is so active in genealogy.

I don't know the answer to your question. All I know is that it does not matter. If one is not baptised prior to death nothing can help that situation, so it is not a worrying matter. Let them play their little games, it's all false anyway, lol.

In fact, I have a ggg grandfather that has been sealed by someone???????? That means when the person sealing gets his own planet to rule, they will take this grandfather with them. hahahahahahahahaha.

I am not Morman either, nor want to be. Don't believe to much you find in LDS geneology as reported by one of their members, since they all have to do their geneology, I have found false reporting. Oh well, they just want to get the job done no matter if true. Who's to know???? lol

If they are members of the mormon church you can bet they have. That is why mormon’s are so into tracing their family lines - so they can baptize all their ancestors.

The policy is you do not do temple ordinances for non-relatives. Your focus is on your direct line.Regarding other relatives, if you go off on a collateral for someone who died, you need written permission from 1- a living spouse, or. 2-a child, or next, a parent or finally a sibling, in that order.

If it is your direct line, such as your own parent and the individual has been dead for a year, yes.

Regarding someone that is not a direct ancestor there are also very stringent specifics about someone having been married 90 years or more ago, having been dead 110 years or more...Are there people who are dishonest about this? Once in awhile yes. Can it be undone? Yes if in fact it was not done within guidelines. Can you tell if someone in your family has had their temple work done? Yes. Contact a Family History Center, someone will help you there.
