I see alot of incorrect data submitted. How do we correct that?

For instance I am researching a person, and the data here has this person as a brother and sister married or same person as an aunt and nephew. The county history lists them as married cousins.

    We are unable to help with specifics, because you did not provide ID number for the individuals.

    You might want to correct the spousal relationship by scrolling down to the Family Members section and click the edit pencil in the marriage box, between the two names, and remove the wrong spouse. The article link below gives directions.

    Or you may need to correct the parent-child relationship, by scrolling down to the Family Member section, and clicking the Edit pencil in the box beside the child listed under the wrong parent. Use the article link below.

    Hope this helps.

    If you need additional information, please provide the names and ID numbers, plus a specific explanation of the issue.
