Detail information on children is not the same as on my family tree?
My Great Grandfather, Wilson Sylvester Wright 2Z3B-7KH detail information. his and Pernecia
Darnall Wright, are not the same as my family tree on Wilson's. Some of the children are not listed and some have misspelled names. When I click on Pernecia Darnall Wright the names are correct.
What has happened? My family tree has the names of this couple's children listed correctly.

Wilson Sylvester Wright 2Z3B-7KH is attached to two wives, that appear to be duplicates. Some of the children are duplicated also. Merge the duplicates.
Here is a video on how to merge duplicates in FamilySearch Family Tree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o6DTDhrDLo

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Your Question: What has happened?
Short Answer:
Such was the result of, an "Upload", of a ('dreaded') GEDCOM File, into "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'.
And, that "Upload" occurred, on 22 May 2021 (ie. recently, this Year).
That GEDCOM File, that was "Uploaded", added/created, the following "Totally" UNNECESSARY "Duplicates":
▬ Purnesa Nesa DARNELL ( GZDH-X4K )
▬ Stellard WRIGHT ( GZDH-NBR )
▬ Viola WRIGHT ( GZDH-2KF )
▬ Homer WRIGHT ( GZDH-KS9 )
Whereas ...
The situation regarding:
▬ Walter WRIGHT ( GZDH-LG8 ) ... most Probably Match = Francis Walter WRIGHT ( 2Z3B-75Y )
▬ Herbert WRIGHT ( GZDH-X52 ) ... most Probably Match = Earnest Earl WRIGHT ( MMJJ-9NY )
which are most likely "Duplicates", needs further investigation, just to confirm.
Perhaps, the User/Patron, who "Uploaded", the GEDCOM File, was NOT aware of how the "Compare" Process worked; and, did not 'weed-out', the "Duplicates" in their GECOM File - such happens.
Or, on a more unfortunate level ...
Perhaps, the User/Patron, who "Uploaded", the GEDCOM File, just wanted/wants THEIR "Version" of those individuals/persons to be the prevailing (ie. "Surviving") individuals/persons, instead of the ORIGINAL well established (ie. Documented; and, "Sourced") individuals/persons, ALREADY existing, in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch' - unfortunately, such ALSO happens.
As proffered by the previous respondent ...
There is much "Merging"/"Combining" to be undertaken.
As an aside ...
I am "Related" to Pernecia S. DARNALL ( LKCH-X79 ) ...
So ...
That Said ...
IF, you need a helping hand, with the "Merging"/"Combining"; THEN, do not hesitate to give me a 'Shout'.
[ I can certainly help, if you desire ... ]
Furthermore ...
Here are some "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch':
How do I merge possible duplicates in Family Tree?
How do I merge duplicates in Family Tree by ID?
How do I decide if two records in Family Tree are about the same person?
I hope, that this may ALSO help/assist, somewhat.
Brett
ps: Remember - I you need a hand with that "Merging"/"Combining", then let me know - I can help.
