Incorrect parents, grandparents, etc

JanRedSox

someone has added incorrect info on my family tree. What is the best (and fastest) way to replace the wrong people with the right one?

@JanRedSox The easiest way is find the location going back in the tree location the place where a wrong parent has been entered. If you break that incorrect relationship it will remove all incorrect ancestors added because incorrect parents were added. If you could provide some ID's where you believe incorrect parents have been added you will get some suggestions as to how to correct. In general you are going to be using the following article.

If you know the correct parents, grandparents, etc. Then you can do a process called remove and replace. Go to the help center and put in remove and replace OR put in this URL in the address bar. https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/a-person-in-family-tree-has-the-wrong-spouse

You will then replace the wrong person for the right person.

Your question will be forwarded to the FamilyTree team for review and resolution. You may be contacted by that team if they need more information.
