What if there has been something added to my tree that I do not believe is correct?

Hello,

What do you do if someone has added something to your tree that you believe is not correct? Can that be deleted?

Regards,

While you cannot delete what someone else has added you can correct the entry, It would be a good idea to contact the person who made the entry and ask for their sources if they have not already given them. you can then make your correction using sources to verify your correct.

If an incorrect child or spouse has been added you can delete the incorrect relationship
