I see that the date of death has been added to Marvin Shippey's and Glen Wren's profile, so obviously it can be done. But I've looked and looked and can't find a way to do it for Terry David Shippey who died June 12th. Norma added David to Geni back in 2010 or so, so she is his profile manager, but she can't see a way to add his date of death. Joe Shippey went into David's Geni account using David's computer, and he can't see a way to do it either.

Notice Norma added a new overview that explains the details of David's death, and added a new event to David's timeline, but that still didn't change the first page of his profile to show date of death.

@Terry David Shippey

So can someone tell me how to do it?

That profile is claimed, which is why you don't have the ability to add a deceased date. To report the profile as deceased, go to Actions, Report, and select deceased. You can add the deceased date in the information field and submit it.

Thanx, Michelle. I did that, but nothing happened. Does it take awhile for the report to take effect?

The reports are queued up and managed manually by customer support, and I would not expect any results in the weekend.

Need to add brother's date of death. Where do I find "Actions, Report,..."?

On his profile page Sue. Upper right corner.
