How can I delete people incorrectly added by others to my family tree?

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.
