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 Cady

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 Howard Cady wrote: 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.

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.

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?
