How to remove an incorrect family member entry from my tree

MargaretMathis

Hi, I noticed that the name and info for my husband’s grandfather is incorrect, which means that all of the other info is wrong. I don’t recall adding this information to my tree. How do I delete this incorrect person so that I can add the correct information? And is there any way to find out who added it, if it wasn’t me? Thank you, Maggie Mathis

assuming the grandfather is deceased - can you share the name and ID of the person so we can take a look?

Edmond Nathaniel Mathis (circled in red) is NOT the father of James Virgil Mathis, Sr. James Virgil Mathis, Sr. is my husband’s father and James Hardy Mathis (1878-1941) is the name of my husband’s grandfather, with Joseph DeKalb Mathis as his great grandfather.

It worked - thank you!
