Hey maryfromarlington heights,


Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities. Are you able to manually identify the person that was removed to get them added back? Just in case, here are those steps: Find and identify photos of people in Photos on Mac - Apple Support


Manually identify and name people in a photo

Some photos may contain people who are not automatically named. You can name them manually.
1. In the Photos app  on your Mac, double-click a photo to open it.
2. Do one of the following:

* Choose View > Show Face Names. Click the name (or click “unnamed”) under a face, type a name, then press Return (or choose a name that appears as you type).
* Click the Info button  in the toolbar. Click the Add button , drag the circle to position it over the face if necessary, click the Name field, type a name, then press Return.
* You can click the Add button  multiple times to identify multiple faces in a photo. To remove a name that you added to a face, click the Remove button  on the person.

To stop showing face names in photos, choose View > Hide Face Names.


Let us know how it goes.


Take care!
