I have found an incorrect entry for an individual. David Young Kendall, KCB2-MHG is incorrectly listed as the husband of Lucy Kemp LCRQ-29R.

    @Judith Wilson_7

    There appears to be same name confusion, as 2 of the sons of David Kendall LCRQ-KTK and Lucy Kemp are also attached to David Young Kendall KCB2-MHG.

    If you are confident of the facts, it is relatively simple to detach the incorrect father from the family unit.

    Hello @Judith Wilson_7,

    Here are the instructions for detaching a spouse if the relationship is incorrect:

    1. While signed in to FamilySearch.org, navigate to the Person page of Lucy Kemp 1816–1910  • LCRQ-29R 
    2. If you do not see Vitals near the top of the page, click the Details tab.
    3. Scroll down to the Family Members section at the bottom.
    4. Under Spouses and Children, you can view the different relationships. 
    5. In the box showing the incorrect couple relationship, click the Edit icon (small pencil).
    6. Click Remove or Replace next to the incorrect spouse. 
    7. Click the check box on the Remove or Replace screen to verify that you reviewed the relationships, sources, and notes. 
    8. Click Remove Person. Explain why, and then click Remove.


    Here are the instructions from the Help Center which also include mobile devices:

    Note: When you remove or replace an incorrect spouse, the parent-child relationship also changes for any children showing for the couple. If a child is linked to an incorrect parent, the incorrect spouse may continue to show in the relationship. Remove the parent-child relationship with the incorrect spouse to resolve the issue.
