Family Search has my sister listed as deceased and she is very much alive.

    Graham already gave the link to the relevant instructions, but two things in your post point out that you're probably operating under some misapprehensions about FamilySearch's Family Tree. One, there is no such thing here as "my tree" or "your tree"; it's all one tree that we collaborate on. (Only profiles that you create as "living" are private to you.) Two, it is not FamilySearch that entered your sister (or anyone else); the profiles in the Tree come from users of FamilySearch. (This is true even of the legacy data that "seeded" the then-new tree in 2012; the contributor for those profiles is labeled as FamilySearch because privacy and other considerations prevented the transfer of user identifications from prior systems.)
