There are two of me on my Person page. Same ID on both. Both have the same children; one does not show my spouse.

How do I get rid of the one?

    That's not 2 of you, since there is only one ID number. No one else can see your page, as the living are protected for privacy reasons.

    It sounds as if you may have connected yourself to one or more of your children twice.

    I've replicated the situation you describe in the Beta sandbox:

    As Áine states, and as you recognized, there are not two of you, just one, as shown by both displays of your name having the same ID. What you have is duplicate relationships with your children. One relationship with both you and your wife and one relationship with just you.

    To correct this you need to delete the relationship with just you. Do this by clicking on the Edit Relationship pencil icon next to each of your children in the family group that is missing your wife. This will bring up this pop up:

    Here click on Remove or Replace under the child as underlined. Do this for both children. Then things will be fine.

    Just to emphasise what I think FS doesn’t make clear enough. It is the (extra) relationship that is being deleted, not the child.
