Some uniformed person created a duplicate of my mother in law in family search. The birth year and place are wrong and they listed her as deceased but she isn't.

The option to delete the person is not available. I already deleted the relationships but I can't delete this person.

The individual I need to delete is Feviiai G86B-V92

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    FYI

    We can ONLY "Delete" an individual/person, from "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch', IF:

    ▬ We "Created" them; and,

    ▬ NO Other User/Patron has contributed to that them (and, that includes 'FamilySearch'; as, a User/Patron.

    As an aside ...

    Question: Are you certain, that it is, Feviia'i ( G86B-V92 )?

    As, that individual/person, is recorded as being Born in 1903; although, not impossible, that would make them 118 Years of age, if they were still "Living".

    Just making sure.

    Please advise.

    FYI

    Furthermore ...

    Rather than "Deleting" an individual/person from "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'; when, their 'Status' is in question (ie. "Deceased"; or, "Living), there is another option ...

    Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

    How do I change the status from deceased to living in Family Tree?

    I hope this helps.

    You may with to try to send a message to the individual who added the deceased record for Feviiai G86B-V92, and let them know she is still living. You might ask where the information in this record came from. It is good to communicate with other users, and strive to work together. Use the article below:

    Good luck. Hope you receive an answer.
