Remove a person from my tree.

Someone has added a person to my tree that doesn’t belong. This person was born 20 years before his parents were. The dates are way off. I’m new here but I can do math. This means that everyone above this person is wrong and needs to be removed. Please advise me what to do. This is not a matter of just doing an edit. I know how to do that. This needs to be deleted completely. Thank you!

    If you want direct help with this you will have to post the ID here. Otherwise, you will have to work your way through this yourself. However, from what you describe, the action might be as simple as removing the relationship of this individual to the parents to whom they have been connected.

    Individuals on Family Tree can only be "deleted" by the user who created the profile - and even then only if they have been the only contributor to that ID.

    The FamilySearch Family Tree is fully open-edit and collaborative. That means YOU can make the edits or changes.

    If you are new to FamilySearch, you can find webinars and help articles explaining how to work in the tree. If you're uncomfortable making changes yourself, you can post the PID numbers of the deceased individuals and ask for assistance here in the Community.

    As Paul W point out, this can be a very easy fix but you will need to post the PID for anyone to see the issue. The PID is the number next to the person's name that looks like a car license plate. KWJ5-FW4
