Correcting false information on a family tree
Some years ago, I began creating a family tree. I have recently discovered that someone has gone into that tree and posted absolutely incorrect information (the individual admitted he has no connection to my family).
Is there a way to delete all of his inaccuracies?
When doing genealogy, we all run into enough roadblocks without having people post inaccurate information that they "think" is accurate.

Hi and welcome to FamilySearch Community. FamilySearch's Family Tree is an open-edit collaboration.
Here are a few articles from the Help Center (see the circle with a question mark to the right of the navigation bar) that might be helpful:
What is the purpose of FamilySearch and Family Tree?
How can I prevent other people from making inaccurate changes to Family Tree?
How do I see what changes were made about a person in Family Tree?
How do I undo an incorrect change in Family Tree?
How do I undo a merge in Family Tree?
Maile 🙂

@NhicMhic often errors are introduced because other contributors are misled by Family Tree hints, which are generated in error because there are deficiencies or errors in the tree. If you would share some affected profile IDs (PIDs), others here can take a look and suggest what you can do to make that part of the one tree more robust.

My FamilySearch tree has a wrong individual in it. My great grandmother had several husbands, and the tree puts the wrong one in my tree, one who is not my grandfather. How do I get the right individual connected to my tree?

It is simple! On your great grandmother's profile page, details tab, relationships block, make her marriage to your great grandfather the Preferred relationship.
