    We understand the challenges of using a universal family tree, and that there can be assumtions of a relationship that do not exist.

    However, at the same time there can be relationship of which we are unaware.

    Before you remove these folks about whom you have a concern we would recommend you open up their Person/Detail page and by using View my relationship, you can see if in fact Family Search shows a relationship.

    If you are not familiar with this feature, by using as search term View my relationship, in the Help Center or you may use this link

    If these McDonalds do not belong to your family, you may remove them .

    If , as a child, they are attached to incorrect parents, search term would be correcting parent child..

    Thank you Nida. I was able to correct the names on my fathers side. I do however have relatives on the MacDonald side which I have a lot of certificates to prove relationship. I just don't want to go through these mistakes again. It's very difficult to change. Thank you for answering me. I will make sure that I have the right connections moving forward.
