I am helping someone who tried to add her father after she had entered the grandparents. He shows as the father of the grandparent. What is the best way to to move her father's record to the right position?

I'm thinking to delete him, the move to her details page and add him correctly.

    She is working in the beginner entry form. It will not let her delete the wrong records.

    You don't need to delete him. Just delete the relationship. First copy his ID number.

    Now go to the Family Members section on his profile page. Next to the incorrect child under him will be a pencil icon. Click there and follow the process to remove that child.

    Now go to the profile page for one of his parents. Again scroll down to the Family Members section. Underneath where his parents show as a couple, will be an Add Child link. Click that and add him there using his ID number.
