I think an unsourced person is still alive
+12

I'm not quite sure what to do with this one. I found a match for a marriage to a spouse with the right name, but that would mean that this person was born in 1976 and married in 2000, and at least some of his kids are probably under the 13-year limit. I tried following the connection to Kevin Bacon, and the first non-private profile (four generations up) was born in 1879, which sounds about right. So I'm thinking that he and his spouse should be set to private and the children to unlisted, but they're orphaned profiles, so that means nobody would be able to fix them. So I'm not at all sure what to do in this case.

Greg,
Go ahead and source the profiles, add the dates, then let me know. I will take care of them, unless, of course, you're willing to manage them. If that's the case, you can change the privacy settings after you've adopted them.
