Cathy,
You were correct as to the cause of my problem (individual marked as deceased).
Fixing the problem was harder. The “View-Set Living” reset kept returning
“fixed” but the Individual Information screen kept returning “Deceased” for
several attempts. Deleting Medical Notes and Medical Note Sources was my final
fix that was required to get him alive. Thanks for steering me to the solution.

Howard,
You don't need LTools for this and I'd be very wary of using LTools beyond
Legacy 7.
For this particular case, you just need to look at his Individual Information
screen and see.
For others you may want to check, you can use Legacy Detailed Search.
Individual - Birth Date - after - <your choice of date>
AND
Individual - Living - equal to - NO

Cathy, Thanks for the information that removing everything from
death/burial/sources wouldn’t restore “deceased” to “living”. I will
search for “deceased” and dig out Ltools and look when I have time –
but not before this reply. It is also possible that I might have
checked his deceased box at one time and then reversed that check.

Have you checked that he's not been accidentally marked as deceased in
your file? It's easy to do. Adding anything in death or burial field
or adding a source to them will switch the Living indicator. Removing
it doesn't switch the indicator back.

I used Legacy 9 version 198 to prepare an GEDCOM (import to Ancestry
version) of my wife's bloodline (only her relatives) with privacy
(only names for living people). Everything was as expected except for
her living brother where the exported file treated him as deceased. My
wife and all living descendants were properly exported as names only.
A deceased older sister was properly exported as deceased. Have others
noticed this potential error?
