Wrong information in the Tree
Comments

Someone must have reviewed my family tree recently, because there are so many mistakes there now! My mom has three or four different ID listings for herself, some listed as deceased and some as living. She is living! My uncle has 2 separate identity listings, and my aunt has 2 separate identity listing of her own. I don't know how on earth you can label someone deceased without a death certificate. Someone obviously worked very hard on this because there are so many changes, but it was fine before and now it is really bad. I don't know how to fix it! Anyway, thanks for listening, lol

Sorry to hear about the problems with your family listings in the tree. The family tree doesn't get reviewed, but, any one in the world can work on it and sometimes FamilySearch makes additions via computer too. Since your family members are living, you should contact FamilySearch and let them know. I would use the email address that you find by clicking on the question mark and Contact Us.
Here is a link to protecting the privacy of living persons and several links at the bottom that will further explain how FamilySearch handles this. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/what-is-a-private-space-in-family-tree
The way to fix it is through merges and deleting the profiles that are incorrect. There are videos on YouTube that can help you learn how to do this. There are also a bunch of help articles that you can find by clicking on the question mark and Help and Learning Tab. Here is one of them and the links at the bottom will take you to others: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-decide-if-two-records-in-family-tree-are-about-the-same-person
