Incorrect Information in Family Tree
My Maternal Great Grandfather is not listed correctly. My Grandfather was adopted by his Uncle shortly after the death of his mother. This individual is listed as his Father on Family Search. I have several sources that document who should be recorded as his father. How can I update my tree?

Hello. Here is the link to the Knowedge Article that gives the directions to make the change from biological to adopted. https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-specify-biological-step-adopted-and-foster-relationships-in-family-tree.
Please let us know if there are any further questions.

Do keep in mind as you work on your tree that a person can just as many sets of parents as necessary to show all of one's family history. You can have a biological parents set, a biological/step set, an adoptive set, and whatever else might be needed. Just be sure to document with plenty of sources and notes who all these people are. Use the Add Parent link to add additional sets of parents.
Your situation would look something like this rough sketch put together on the beta site:
