    It's one thing to delete a person, and another to uncouple a person from an incorrect relationship. The policy as it stands makes it mandatory that incorrect relationships stand and impossible to correction them..

    I have incorrectly entered someone and now I cannot delete them. This should be easy but it is not. How can this be resolved?

    Hi Matt .. I am new to the research and mistakenly added great great grand parents to my tree that are Not my great great grandparents. And apparently, they belong to someone else’s tree and I am unable to remove them from my tree. So that I can add the correct great great grandparents to my tree. How can I delete an ad the correct people to my tree?
