Incorrect person on family tree
I added a man today, everything seemed to connect. But just as I clicked, I noticed a citation regarding his death in New Zealand. My ancestor didn't go to NZ, but the rest of the info does match. Basically, there were two families in Staffordshire, both had the same name, both had brothers the same name, both married a Sarah Parkes. It really is uncanny. But I had the same issue when I was tracing via Ancestry. The Danks family in Australia are still there. The gent in question didn't come home, one family were engineers and 'my' family were miners. But as I didn't add all the details, I can't disconnect him from my tree and all his ancestors. The biggest clues are his children were born in the UK during the years his alter ego was in Australia. Now I get it, I was impatient and clicked to add. But now I cant add my 'real' family.
Can anyone suggest a way to edit???
Many thanks
Colette

Did you go to latest changes? You might be able to delete the entry from latest changes. You can also disconnect him from who you attached him to (for instance, a parent, a wife, etc.)
