How to delete this person Braun – 27 mai 1633 • GDTL-ZKB

The source is about a marriage, not the death of someone. Because it was indexed wrongly, it created a person that never existed. How can it be deleted ?

    More than one person has contributed to the profile, so it cannot be deleted, but it can be merged into whichever profile it's a mistake for. The image to go with the erroneous index is not available to me, so I don't know who that is.

    The record is about the marriage of 'the parents', and not about the death of a child as stated in the indexed document. You can see it is the same date for both. So no merging can be done.

    Sure there can: change the sex to male and merge it with the profile of the father.

    Yes, add the sex (male) and delete the burial detail from the ID of "Braun", with reason statement that this is his marriage detail. Go to the attached source and make a note there to the same effect. Then go to GDDS-N6M and paste GDTL-ZKB into the box reached after clicking on "Merge By ID". Complete the merge process and GDTL-ZKB will disappear from being listed as a child of Jerg Braun.

    The ID will be effectively deleted, although "archived" is the preferred term among users.

    It is impossible to merge a parent with a child. I merged it with another child but maybe I should a delinked it from the parents and then merged it with the father.

    Yeah, sorry, I forgot that to merge it with the father, you'd first have to get rid of the parent-child relationship. Merging with a child actually works better. Either way, all is good now: the profile for the nonexistent person has been removed from the tree.
