    Wrong connection - what to do?

    Sorry if this is an idiotic question but I have just started doing this and cannot figure out how to remove the link between my great-great grandmother and a couple who I now realise I have erroneously linked / attached to her as her parents.

      Easy ...

      .

      On the "Person/Details" page/screen for the individual/person, go down to the "Family Members" Section; then, select the "Pencil" Icon.

      .

      You will then be presented with a "Pop-Up" (aka: "Modal") 'Window' for "Parent- Child Relationship", in that "Pop-Up" (aka: "Modal") 'Window' go to the "Child"; and, then, select the "Remove" or "Replace" [which will "Remove" or "Replace" that Child from that Couple (eg. Parents)].

      .

      You will then be presented with, a 'standout', "Pop-Up" (aka: "Modal") 'Window' to, either, "Remove" or "Replace" that Child from that Couple (eg. Parents).

      .

      Changing Parents _ 1

      .

      Changing Parents _ 2

      .

      Here is a "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch" on the matter:

      .

      How do I correct parent-child relationships in Family Tree?

      I hope this helps.
