Someone has been incorrectly adding several extra wives to my great grandfather's profile. One supposedly had twenty children with him. Do I need to delete and re-add my information with a new ID number? I have been researching since the 1970's and have had confirmation from many relatives that my information is correct.

    Hi,

    This is usually straightforward and so I have listed a couple of Knowledge Articles that explain the process in simple steps. Right click on the URLs and open in a new tab to read them

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,

    Barry Johnsonis right as there is no way a person you did not put in can be removed from the FS database.
