Question

How can I indicate an unknown year of death on the family tree? (if I know the person is dead)

Answer 1

You just need to untic the "This person is living" box and not enter the date of death. This will not show any dates for death.

If I do it the way you suggest, then the format of the life dates for a dead person with an unknown year of death look the same as the format for people who are still alive (i.e. only a "birth" year is provided).  I want people reading the family tree to know who is alive and who is dead.  In other words, if I don't know the year of the person's death, I want to still be able to indicate they're dead.  Thoughts?

Despite not showing the year of death, the person's name and details should show in a lighter color to indicate that they are not living.

I put it in the bio section. I. e. Dod/place unk., no research done on dod, etc.
