Before you start

Be sure your account settings contain a valid email address or phone number. Both can be helpful in working through the process of changing the individual's status. If you are using a tablet, we suggest you use the Family Tree mobile app rather than the website.

Steps (website)

If you are the only contributor:

1. Navigate to the person page of the individual who is living.
2. Click Details.
3. In the Vitals section, next to the listed death date, select Edit.
4. In the box that appears, click the circle labeled Living.
5. Enter how you know the person is still alive.
6. Click Save.

The word "Living" now shows in the Death field, and the Private Person banner appears at the top of the person page. The record is now visible only to you.
