Probably because the profile creator marked them as deceased so they could orphan them. I suggest you set the profile manager to the Notables Project if you don't want to be stuck with them and then mark them as still living.

I fixed them all-there was more family incorrectly marked as deceased in order to orphan them. I left a message for the person doing it to ask them to stop hacking the system. Thanks for the heads up, Dale.
