The record for Marcellus Douglas Bass 1867–1912 KHTD-L6K) indicates the individual is deceased. Record KF23-MBK show Marcellus as living. I would like this changed so I can merge several records.

    You will need to enter the birth and death information on the "Living" record and then you will be able to merge the records. You cannot merge a deceased and living person.

    Because record KF23-MBK is a living record, we cannot search for it in Family Tree. Even using the Helper Function, we were not able to find the record. If there is more information you can give us, maybe we can be of assistance.

    Best wishes.
