    First of all EDIT YOUR POST IMMEDIATELY AND REMOVE HER NAME AND PID NUMBER. THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM.


    Then rephrase your question in more generic terms.

    @ KavanaughCrawford

    Go to her page, edit the status from deceased to living. A box will open and ask you why you want to change the status from deceased to living, Give the same reason that you stated here. withIn a day or so the status will reflect your change.

    Change the status yourself from Deceased to Living. Provide a reason statement for this (i.e., to confirm why you know she is still living) and an administrator will complete the process of changing the status (probably within a few days).

    However, only the individual who created this profile will then be able to view the detail. We cannot see GZC3-P79 as is in your private space. Profiles for the Living cannot be merged (as each resides within the private space of the person who created them), so - as for many of the records of the Living entered to Family Tree - there will have to remain two (or more) "versions" of her in the database.

    Incidentally, you might wish to send an internal message to Zulu1935, asking why they marked as Deceased, when the individual concerned was born well under 110 years ago and for whom (obviously) there is no evidence of a death.

    For living people, there will often be multiple profiles, as different family members or friends will have created profiles that exist only in each contributor's private space. Merging can be done after the death of the person represented. No merging can be done before then.
