Errors in my Tree

Rachel A. Petersen · May 6

My question is two fold.

First, my mother is listed twice. One is complete with all her information. The second listing has her as deceased but nothing else. How do I removed the second one.

Second. When I open up family search my great grandmother has an error. It says her mother was 52 when she was born. It lists her mother as Adeli Ann Brown, who is not her mother. When I go to the family tree, it lists her mother correctly as Hannah Pauline Brown. How so I get this error corrected?

Hello @Rachel A. Petersen.

Question 1: Assuming you mean there are 2 entries in Family Tree whose sources verify they are the same person (not someone else with the same name), you can Merge them - if you need any more information, please post again.

Question 2: Where is this 'mother aged 52' information appearing? Is it a Record Hint? If you are 100% sure a Hint is not correct, you can dismiss it. If this doesn't answer the question, please post again.

Question 1 - Is your mother living? If so, then mark the deceased record as living. Follow the instructions here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-the-status-from-deceased-to-living-in-family-tree

Is your mother deceased? If so, then merge the deceased record. Follow the instructions here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-merge-duplicates-in-family-tree-by-id

Question 2 - Can you please share the ID of the person with the Mother is too Old to Have Children notification - so we can look at what it looks like in the Tree and provide you better instructions?
