I have run across this twice, the most recent is on LKF1-HNG

the "change" says First Ancestor Deleted, but shows no information, no notes, nothing. and I can find no actual changes on the profile.

(this families profiles are the nightmare of my life, trolls are constantly removing, verified, documented facts and replacing with fiction, drives me batty and I left FS once before over this family, will probably leave again because it is a daily struggle to keep the trolls at bay and FS will do absolutely nothing to help and if you report something they decide you are the problem because you dared to report it! ok, rant over)

    First Ancestor is a recent innovation primarily aimed at Chinese families with founding clan members.

    It is accessed via First Ancestor view in the tree display options.

    Clearly someone has added LKF1-HNG as a first ancestor - perhaps experimenting with the system. This is not what the system was intended for. This was done on 21 August. Another user has removed it hence the message First Ancestor Deleted.

    Rant understood and sympathised with.
