I am new to FS--joined yesterday. And in familiarizing myself with the site, i found that my living cousin Jane Grace Anderson GSNS-D68 is on the tree, but she is listed as the spouse of her brother=in=law. What should I do?

    First edit the couple relationship using the little paper and pencil next to the marriage date and remove her as the wife.

    Then in the Vitals section click edit or the pencil icon depending on whether you are using the old or new pages and click the radio button that says Living and click Save. A form will pop up. Fill it out with the evidence you have she is still alive, which can be pretty simple. That will get processed and in a few days or week or so she should change to Living.
