Question about death of Leonard W Bush
My uncle is still living to the best of my knowledge. His name is misspelled on the website, as Lenard. It listed him as deceased. No death certificate was found online.
My name is Claudette Gibson Bushell, his niece. My mom was his sister, Lois Alfreda Bush Gibson.

Where are you seeing this?
If this is a profile in the Family Search Family Tree (FSFT), then this is a serious privacy issue. This help article explains how to change a person from deceased to living: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-the-status-from-deceased-to-living-in-family-tree#:~:text=In%20the%20Vitals%20section%2C%20next,Click%20Save
If this is a record you found, then what the record says must stand, even if it is incorrect. It is the role of genealogists to look at the raw evidence and reconcile contradicting information.

Just wanted to bring it to someone's attention. Sorry if there was a privacy issue.

I did not mean that your post was a privacy issue. His personal details being online is the privacy issue, and ought to be resolved quickly.
I assume you are talking about this profile: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GHMS-Y9L
You can follow the instructions I linked to yesterday to change him from deceased to living.

I've added a spouse. Her obituary states that he died in 1997. See if you agree. And hope this helps.

His spouse was Evelyn Corinne Swift Bush
Not sure where the information is coming from, but that was not his wife.

There seems to be a confusion between two similarly named men:
Leonard Wayne Bush (1929) PID: GHMS-Y9L
Leonard W Bush(1917-1997) PID: GNH2-QPW
Audrey S Rose (1914-2007) PID: GNHJ-Q39 is listed as the wife of both these men.
You should figure which one of these men is your uncle, and then delete the relationship between him and Audrey. Let us know if you have any questions or need any help.

@ClaudetteBushell -- The original work on Leonard Wayne Bush 15 June 1929 – Deceased • GHMS-Y9L was done by username: Rhona Boutwell, who originally created and marked him as deceased and listed his family, which includes your mother and his sister Lois Alfreda Bush Gibson. Is that username familiar to you? You may want to message her. I've done the same.
You stated that Leonard's spouse was Evelyn Corinne Swift Bush. I've added her to his record, but since names are not unique, would you review the sources for accuracy, too? I also disconnected Leonard's record from Audrey S Rose 6 March 1914 – 15 June 2007 • GNHJ-Q39 and I'll give her another spouse with the same name.
Hope all this helps!

Thank you so much for all your help. I greatly appreciate your time and patience. My mom was Lois Alfreda Bush Gibson. She passed away in 21 Sept 1995.

Dear Sir, I have another issue with my grandfather Claud Bush. I attached his record to the family tree as he was my grandmother's spouse (Lena Gertrude Atkins). The one in the records for Claude John Bush did not have the correct dates. They are both buried at Mount Olivet Cemetary in Baltimore, MD.

@ClaudetteBushell - Are you talking about Claude John Bush 8 July 1901 – 4 September 1974 • LKHS-KDZ
The specific ID number is alway good to include.
According to the Find A Grave record
Claude John Bush
BIRTH 8 Jul 1901
DEATH 4 Sep 1974 (aged 73)
BURIAL Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens
Roanoke, Roanoke City, Virginia, USA
Son of Viola Cunningham and Nelson H. Bush
Married Myrtle Bane
Retired from Falwell Trucking Co.
That's also consistent with Social Security Death Index and VA Death Certificate.
What do you show?
The record currently shows that he had TWO spouses. This may be another instance where we have people with the same name commingled. Just a thought.
Please call me and we can work faster on this if that's OK with you. I live in Michigan.

@ClaudetteBushell -- I just found the Find A Grave record you attached. Yes, we have commingled records for another person with the same name. I've added another spouse to Lena Gertrude Atkins 20 November 1902 – 19 November 1961 • L6JD-W19. Her new spouse is Claud Bush 3 August 1900 – 2 December 1977 • G8D5-GN7. I'll begin the separation process just like we did previously. I'll also have to move the children, too. Now the names align with the marriage record for the couple, but I haven't moved those yet. Hang in there....

Be sure to add notes to any of the relevant names explaining why they are, or are not a match. These will hopefully deter others from making the same mistakes in the future.

Thanks. I am trying to find my grandfather's mother. The name that was listed as my grandfather was incorrect and I think we have fixed that, but I never knew her name. When he died I was working as an x-ray tech at the hospital and the physician was a good friend of mine, yet my grandfather died anyway. My grandfather wanted to be buried with his mom in VA, but I have no way of knowing where or who I am looking for. He was buried at Mount Olivet Cemetary with my grandmother, his wife, Lena Gertrude Atkins Bush. Again, thanks for all your help. I used to work in IT for the government, so I know how difficult tracking errors can be.
