Discovered on death certificate of George Leonard Webster. Father is named as Eliphalet Webster and mother is named as Sally Morris. How do I get this changed on the tree. Originally George L Webster's father showed as Orange Webster on the family tree but this is incorrect. Thank you,

Lorenzo Gibson b. 1804 is my 2g grandfather. I have never seen him addressed as Lorenzo Prentice Gibson nor have I seen his son addressed as Junior. I would like to know on what his middle name is based. Thanks in advance. Frank Gibson Thibault, Jr.

If you have been doing family research for 30 years or more, you know that back in the 1600-1700s, most of the time they did not use Sr and Jr when a male was named for his father. James Monroe Banks is such a case. So, people doing research have mistakenly given my ancestor, James Monroe Banks b: 1792 d: 1885 two wives the 2nd wife is the wife of his son, James Monroe Banks Jr. b; 6 Feb 1826 to Barbara Alice Kimmel b:1821 d:1867.
You have given all of James Monroe Banks Jr's children along with his wife to James Monroe Banks Sr while he was still married to Elizabeth Hutchinson who gave birth to Andrew M Banks in 1827 on the 25th of January and Elizabeth was born in 1800 8 years after James Sr and died in 1864. Barbara was born in 1821 & died in 1867 3 days after Barbara Alice Banks was born. I am sure if one was able to find the cause of death it would be due to child birth. she was only 45 years of age but still way to old to have children during those years.
This whole family is confusing as all get out but one needs to look at the birthdates of both mothers as well as James Sr & Jr, then look at the birth dates of all the children and compare those dates to the parents birth & death dates. Many people have made this error, not just this family. One MUST look at all the information and reason things out, not just put in down as fact without checking everything. Errors were made by those filling out the records especially during those times in history. Even in todays world some people have confused my Jr with me. My older brother and my twin brother each have a Jr and I feel sure they have all had the same confusion.

See if you can discover the error in my first posting. It has to do with the mother of James Monroe Banks Jr.
Barbara Alice Kimmel was the WIFE of James Jr NOT his mother. Elizabeth Hutchinson was his mother. See how easy it is to make an error when inputing the information?

You would need to contain the organization that is the record custodian to ask for access to the images.

There is a mistake in my family tree that I don't know how to correct. I have one generation of my Hall family section that is misplaced. I have the same couple listed in their proper place. How do I clear the misplaced listing or else merge the two in order to correct the error?

Thank you for your question. If you hold the reservation for all the ordinances for the person, you need to do them in the correct order with Endowment completion before Sealing to Spouse. If you run Ordinances Ready and are provided Sealing to Spouse without Endowment completed, and you do not hold the reservation for the Endowment, you can complete the Sealing to Spouse ordinances provided to you via Ordinances Ready.

How do I get my contributions to post in the family tree sections to keep it correct?

I am totally frustrated! Others have posted incorrect information on my family tree and I don't know how to delete it or correct it. I have DNA matches to people to prove who my ancestors are, but other people who are not even related to me have added incorrect material.
Also, when I entered certain names they were entered twice. When I entered a second marriage for myself, and the child born of that marriage, the child was assigned to the wrong spouse.
I printed out the "how to" do certain things and I cannot get the suggestions there to work. I must delete my tree and if I cannot get information corrected. Do you have any live person who can chat with me or classes to attend on Zoom about how to make changes?

Please see this Help Center article: How do I follow or unfollow a person in Family Tree?
When you "follow" a person in the Family Tree, you receive weekly notifications (bell at the top of the screen) when changes are made to that person. This will help you check to see if the changes are inline with the research you have already added to the Tree.
