Please remind me: how handle open orphaned profiles of living people?

Question

Whether I'm working on my favorite db_error 902 or searching for matches, I'm drawn to finding dates for empty-dated profiles. In the process, I frequently encounter orphaned  open profiles that are probably living people. Like this one and the children attached. I googled one of the children and found a 2014 reference.

How should we deal with these?

Should have looked for previous answers. It was answered here less than six months ago! And I participated !

Answer 2

In this instance the person who uploaded the data originally seems to be still very active and may be able to help? Sorry I don't know what the general advice is.

Answer 3

I think you are correct. I adopted one of the profiles just to see who the father is. The father has a private profile, but I googled the name, and he just passed away in 2016 (Nathaniel Sims Rogers). His obit is online naming his living relatives. I believe that all of the living children/grandchildren are orphaned and were added via GEDCom.
