I cannot add any sources or update the death date for the following person. I get an error message that says there is a problem.

We were able to attach the Find A Grave source for him. Perhaps delete cookies, change browsers, and try again, We deleted the source for you to give it a go. Let us know if it worked for you, OK?

Everything works fine now. Thank you for the info about the browser. I will remember that the next time.

@wendellbeckwith1 , I think this is your question or issue with your brother David. If not please clarify.

Go to David's Detail/Person page. In the Vitals section by Death click Edit or the Pencil Icon. Then click the radio button to Living and Save. Put in the Reason you know he is Living. Your request will then go to a specialty team at FamilySearch for correction. After they review your request that PID will be marked to Living and he will no longer show in the public/deceased area of Family Tree.

See this knowledge article for more help.
