    My older brother born 1927 and I born 1929 are in the community tree as deceased, as of today that is incorrect. How do we get to the land of living?

    @Louella Ormsby Just go to the two profiles where you and he are shown as deceased. In the Death information block, click the Edit pencil icon, then click the Living radio button:

    A form will pop up asking you why you think you are living. Just fill that out with something like "Because this is me" and "This is my brother and I know he is" or something that looks to satisfy the criteria. In a couple of days the entries will vanish from Family Tree.
