I have accidently put my grandparents as my parents. How do I correct this and add my parents?

Hi, welcome to the FamilySearch community.

Are your parents listed in Family Tree already, but not linked to you?

Are your parents linked as children to your grandparents?

This article may help you add your parents so your pedigree will display correctly.

You can to correct the parent-child relationship, by going to the Family Members section, and clicking on the Edit button right of your name listed as a child, and Remove/Replace your listed parents.

Here are the steps for removing or replacing a child in a family using Family Tree on the FamilySearch.org website:

1. While signed in to FamilySearch.org, click Family Tree.
2. Navigate to the person page of the child with the incorrect parents.
3. If the Details section is not open, click the Details tab.
4. Scroll to the Family Members section.
5. Under Parents and Siblings, find the child's name, and click the Edit icon .
6. If only one parent is incorrect, click Remove or Replace next to the incorrect parent. If both are incorrect, click Remove or Replace next to the child.
7. A Remove or Replace box appears. Verify relationships, sources, and notes, then click the check box.
8. Do one of the following:
   1. To remove a parent or parents, click the appropriate Remove button. Explain why, and then click Remove.
   2. To replace a parent or parents, click the appropriate Replace button. The Replace Person screen appears.
      • If you know a parent's ID number, click Find by ID Number, enter the ID number, and then click Find. Click Add Person. Explain your reason for the change, and then click Replace.
      • If you do not know a parent's ID number, complete the search fields, and then click Next. If the correct person or couple appears in the list, click Add Person. Otherwise, click Create New to create a parent record. Explain your reason for the change, and then click Replace.

Hope the article suggested in the last posting fully answered your question.

This issue often generates questions, and these may have been answered previously. Just a tip to save you some time......before posting a question, it may be helpful to you to check if this topic has been addressed previously - You can add keywords (in this case 'wrong person' or 'remove incorrect relationship' ) to the search bar, and other similarly themed questions will appear and may provide you with a quicker answer.

Hope this helps.
