    Roger

    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?

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-the-status-from-deceased-to-living-in-family-tree

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-the-status-from-deceased-to-living-in-family-tree

    I hope this helps.

    Brett
