William and Ezekiel are brothers. Some records for Ezekiel are attached to William. There should be a way to move/switch persons rather than detaching from the wrong person then later to have to find that record and attach it to the correct person.

    Don't use Detach. Use Review Attachments:

    This opens the Source Linker where you can easily detach the source from one family member without losing it and move it to someone else in the family or even to someone not in the family at all:
