Sooo, right now I am in a rabbit hole creating a large family tree about various nobles throughout the ages and consider sharing it with a few friends. As you could guess, basically everyone on this family tree is deceased (because of course Edward the Confessor didn't live to be a thousand years old). When I try to share the family tree (clicking on the "Share" button while having selected i. e. Edward the Confessor), the following message appears:

You cannot share the family with Edward who is marked as no longer living. Please try clicking someone else on the tree.

Well, I tried, and learnt that I can only share the family tree when clicking on a person who is currently alive (which are ... approximately ten people in this tree, as I like the middle ages). Of course, I can share this way (and I can mark a dead person as alive, copy their link via "Share" button, share it with my friends and set the desired person as deceased again) but I am curious if there is any option that allows me to share directly from a deceased person's box?
