I've linked the primary person of the document below to my tree. I want to link the parents as well, but the are matched the wrong way around. Is there a way for me to swap them?

See image below.

    Hi, Thanks for your question.

    The reason the parents are the wrong way around is due to there sex being unknown on the original source record. So the system doesn't know which is the male and which is the female.

    The way around this is to go to the source record and match one of the parents and the second parent will automatically appear.

    https://www.familysearch.org/ark%3A/61903/1%3A1%3A6JYT-JVTH

    This link should take you to C H Loubser, from here select "Attach to Family Tree". No match will be found so you need to find the correct person to match this to. In this case type LDKS-HPB into the search box and click select.

    As you can see HH Loubser will also be available to compare and attach.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for your efforts in this great work.
