There is an incorrect entry on my family tree, and I don't see an "edit" button. The "Sarah" they have put in my tree is not my relative.

    @CathyPechin

    If someone has linked a person to one of your ancestors incorrectly, it is necessary to sever the link. How you do this depends on what link needs to be severed.

    Here is a Knowledge Article about changing parent-child relationships. At the end there is a link to dealing with spouses

    https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-correct-parent-child-relationships-in-family-tree

    If you are still not sure, please post again giving more details of what is wrong.

    Regards

    Thank you. In this case, the woman is my mother's grandmother (my great grandmother) which makes a few entries "off", haven't looked beyond that but her husband is also wrong, so...........

    I did find a way to correct the date of death, but not sure that is the only issue, but that will do for now, thank you. It appears it has been changed before, but since I actually saw her alive after 1963, I win!

    @CathyPechin if the person is not your great grand mother, do Not edit her vitals. If she is someone else remove the relationship as @Graham Buckell suggested above.
