Hi Vic,
You can e-mail the team at info@wikitree.com (or Paul Bech directly: paul@) when you see this sort of thing.
The father is marked as still living. It could be a mistake, i.e. a living person connected to a long-dead person mistakenly, in which case opening the living person is not the right thing to do. This is why it takes a human being looking at each individual situation, unfortunately.
