      @DGiroulie,

      Sometimes a child appears with his or her parents and then shows again with one of the parents and an unknown spouse. In this case, the child has one relationship that links him or her to the correct father and mother. The child has a second relationship that connects him or her to one of the same parents and unknown spouse. You can delete that second relationship without affecting the first one--even though the same parent is in both relationships. 

      ·       Sign in to FamilySearch.org.

      ·       Click Family Tree and then Tree.

      ·       Navigate to the person page of the child with the parent and unknown spouse.

      ·       If the Details section is not open, click the Details tab.

      ·       Scroll to the Family Members section

      ·       Under Parents and Siblings, find the child's name, and click the Edit icon.

      ·       Click Remove or Replace next to the child.

      ·       A Remove or Replace box appears. Verify relationships, sources, and notes, then click the check box.

      ·       Click the appropriate Remove button. Explain why, and then click Remove.

      ·       Repeat these steps for each of the children.

      This information was found in the article How do I correct parent-child relationships in Family Tree?

      Hope that this is helpful
