I have mistakenly labelled a photo with the wrong ancestor. The photo is attached to the correct ancestor's record, however I made a mistake of entering the wrong name in the box around the face/image of the ancestor. I cannot seem to change the name (eg., from Joseph to James) that is attached to the box identifying a specific person in a photo that has multiple family members.

    Great question Kate. I’m not aware of a help article that fully explains how to correct a name on a tag.

    Hopefully this illustration will help.

    For more information about the image viewer see this help article.

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/what-are-the-features-of-the-image-viewer-in-memories

    Show the list of people tagged in the photo or document image.

    • If a red exclamation mark  appears by the name, and if the words "Not Attached to the Tree" appear below the name, please follow the instructions in Linking a memory to an ancestor in Family Tree.
    • If the tagged name is attached to Family Tree, click the down arrow to the right of the name to see the options below:
      • Click the name link to view in Family Tree.
      • Click Memories to see all items tagged to the person.
      • The tag creator can click Edit tag to edit the tag.
      • The tag creator and the contributor of the image can click Remove tag to remove the tag. See How do I edit or delete tags on memories?

    Jessie,

    Thank you--it worked! I could not edit the tag, so deleted it and entered the correct name.

    I greatly appreciate your help! 😀
