Caleb Sutton (G7WK-W6N) What to do with great great grandson attached as a child, may be living

MatsenKarenSue1

Caleb is attached to Herbert F. Sutton LK5L-PZQ(father) and Viola Powers LK5L-P8N (mother.)

This is not correct.

Source number 3 shows he is the great great grandson of Clifford W Sutton (son of Herbert and Viola)

It was indexed incorrectly as Clifford W Sutton's brother, thus the confusion.

Caleb may be living, but showing him as deceased, any ideas what to do with Caleb?

As Clifford W Sutton died in 2004 and Caleb is named (as gt gt grandson) in his obituary, it would not be unreasonable to expect Caleb to still be alive. If you cannot find further details of him (his surname might not even be Sutton), I would change his status to Living (I think you might have to report this and have it actioned through Admin) and detach his relationship to the couple currently shown as his parents. To do the latter, click on the pencil icon alongside his name (shown beneath Herbert and Viola) then on Remove or Replace (Child). If you cannot identify his parents, go on to remove him from those parents, ensuring you provide a reason statement to explain the situation / actual relationships.
