    We are adding a link to a knowledge article giving instructions for changing a record from deceased to living.

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-the-status-from-deceased-to-living-in-family-tree

    Basically, here are the instructions if you are not the contributor of the record;

    If you are not the only contributor:

    1. Navigate to the person page of the individual who is living.
    2. Tap Details
    3. In the Vitals section, tap the death date
    4. On the far right of the screen, tap Edit
    5. Depending on your device, tap either the circle or rectangle labeled Living
    6. Enter how you know the person is still alive.
    7. Tap Save
    8. Enter an explanation for the system administrator who can review your request. Please provide this information:
      • Your relationship to the individual needing attention
      • How you know that the person is alive
      • If possible, the living person's current physical address
    9. Click Submit

    A request now goes to FamilySearch Support. A system administrator reviews your request and takes appropriate actions. 


    We know this is frustrating, since you are not the contributor and yet you must submit the request to get it changed.

    We hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please reply to this message.

    I would like to thank CJTobler for his help. Even with that I could not do it alone but my son Howard was here and we did it together.
