Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

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

It happens ...

We ALL make MISTAKES ...

NONE of us are PERFECT ...

FYI

The record for Roger Leslie SCHRAGE ( 13 February 1938, Charles City, Floyd, Iowa, United States - Deceased ) ... [ LRGG-NCN ] ... was created by ANOTHER User/Patron in 2017.

ChangeLog: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/changelog/LRGG-NCN

IF, that is You; THEN, you can do something about that.

There are TWO (x2) options, available to you, regarding Roger Leslie SCHRAGE [ LRGG-NCN ]:

[ 1 ] Change the 'Status', from "Deceased", to "Living"

▬ Simply go to the "Death" Field

▬ Select "Edit"

▬ Change the 'Status', from "Deceased", to "Living"

▬ Add a "Reason Statement" ... [ eg. I am actually ALIVE, not dead ... ]

▬ Save

When you do that, the matter goes directly to 'FamilySearch' "Support".

'FamilySearch' "Support" investigates.

IF, 'FamilySearch' "Support" agrees (which I am certain that they will); THEN, 'FamilySearch' will change the 'Status', to "Living"; where, following on from that, two (x2) things will also happen, to the record of Roger Leslie SCHRAGE [ LRGG-NCN ]:

▬ it will disappear from "Public" view.

.... [ ie. NOT be 'seen' by Users/Patrons; EXCEPT, by the User/Patron who created that record ... ]

▬ it will be "Moved", to the "Private Spaces", of the User/Patron who created that record.

OR ...

[ 2 ] 'Message' the User/Patron who created that record

▬ Send a 'Message' to the User/Patron who created that record

▬ Request he User/Patron Change the 'Status', from "Deceased", to "Living"

▬ Hope, the User/Patron, gets you 'Message'; and, actions your "Request"

Now ...

That Said ...

Personally, I would simply use the first 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.
