I added our sons , three, and put them in the correct place as children. 2 have different father and mother and I thought I was added the other parent(s). Now those children have shown up before us in my tree and I don't know to remove them in the front of my tree but keep them under my children?

    This description is a bit confusing. Generally, if there is a different parent that you want to add to a child, you can click the "+ADD PARENT" link to add them. If you want to remove or replace an existint parent, click on the pencil icon to the right of the child's name, then click the REMOVE OR REPLACE link beneath the parent you want to remove or beneath the child if you want to remove both parents, click the REMOVE OR REPLACE

    Like Steve, I'm confused: what view of the tree are you using, and what do you mean by "before", "front" and "under"?

    For a longer version of Steve's explanation, here's the Help Center article on correcting parents: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-correct-parent-child-relationships-in-family-tree. (And for good measure, the one on correcting spouses: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/a-person-in-family-tree-has-the-wrong-spouse.)

    If none of that answers your question, perhaps some screenshots (with identifying info obscured for living people) would help us help you.

    I understood "before" to mean in an earlier generation. I wonder if the poster may have created a loop, by adding the children before (earlier - as a parent/grandparent) and after (as a child).
