Better way to prevent people from entering living people as deceased?
Help! Again, (for the 3rd time!) I am having to try to get FS to mark my living siblings as living and not as deceased, and we aren't even that old. Some 'well-meaning' uninformed distant relative has used our parents' obituaries to add us to FS, marking us deceased. This is getting old. I messaged the person (still not sure who he is) and told him my sister is not dead and asked him to mark her living. Hasn't done it yet. I contacted FS and am waiting for them to do it. I dismissed all the hints and unattached people listed in the obit, but know that with the 1950 census we will be seeing it all over again for those who are listed in that census who are still alive.
Can FS simply not allow people to be entered as deceased after a certain year WITHOUT a death date and source?

I certainly agree with the idea that people born within a certain period (e.g. 100 years) should have stricter rules for being set to deceased. When these people are set as deceased, their personal details are exposed to the world, and it is a serious breach of privacy.
