I made a wrong request that a dead person should be changed to living

My friend was helping me get around how to unreserve an ordinance that was reserved by my less active nephew and mistakenly requested that a dead person should be changed to living. When that was done, I realized that all information about my ancestors down to the 5th generation is gone. How can I restore this information? I have scheduled an appointment at the temple for this Friday only for me to lose all this data. What can I do urgently? I'm Coker from Nigeria

    If all else fails you can still go to Ordinances Ready on FamilySearch to print some names for your temple visit this Friday.

    It would be helpful to have the person who reserved the ordinance unreserve it for you. 

    In order to change the record from Living to Deceased, you can click on the following link for instructions;  https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-a-status-from-living-to-deceased-in-family-tree

    Hopefully this will bring your ancestor lines back in.
