The "Annie Mae Tyler" you have in my tree is not correct. My mother's was born November 11, 1911 and died in June 2000, in Milam County, Texas. How can I get this corrected; it is negatively affecting much of the other information I'm getting.

    Hello, where you have verifiable information about a specific family that disagrees with the collaborative Tree, you can correct the Tree yourself, except in a very few cases where profiles are read-only.

    @Loukins You can contact the contributor who added the information by clicking on the username to send a private message.

    As Mandy said, it's a collaborative tree. Anyone with a free account can edit almost anything. We are other users/contributors, not a corporate answer board.

    Since it is a collaborative tree, meant to eventually have only one profile for each person who has ever lived, try to be certain you are viewing the correct profile. I see a profile for Annie Mae Tyler, born 15 Nov 1911 and died 13 June 2000 in Texas: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/G8NK-CXG
    Good luck with the research.

    @Loukins

    Everything seems to suggest your mother was born on 15 Nov 1911 (not 11th), including her headstone - photo on Find A Grave at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/41027578/annie-mae-summers#view-photo=104770046 - and the record in the United States Social Security Death Index.

    However, on the same headstone her spouse, Willis B Summers, is shown with an 11 Nov 1911 birth.

    If the responses posted here is do not address your query, please return and explain what you wish to have corrected.
