 Mary Ann Hammond 1812–Deceased • M5L2-T64 is recorded as both mother and daughter on my family tree. How can I correct this? Both have the same M5L2-T64 record

     We cannot see that Mary Ann Hammond 1812–Deceased • M5L2-T64 is recorded as both mother and daughter in Family tree. We see Mary Ann with two spouses, and we see Mary Ann with a mother, Prudence Bishop, born 1759. We also see that Mary Ann is listed twice with her father Robert Hammond. Mary Ann is listed as a child with both parents, and then again as a child of just her father. You can delete this relationship, where Mary Ann is listed as a child to just her father, and no mother. On that entry, click the little pencil to the right of Mary Ann's name in that box where she is listed just with her father. Then on the next screen, click way at the bottom on Delete Parent Child Relationships. For a reason, you can enter something like Duplicate Relationship, child.to father. We do see on the person page for Mary Ann, a red flag saying Birth after Mother's Child-Bearing Years. Mary Ann's mother would have been age 53 at the birth of Mary Ann. You might look into that. Perhaps the mother of Mary Ann was a different Prudence.
