    .

    That is a good question ...

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    We do not have our OWN "Tree" in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

    .

    We ONLY have "Branches", that are interconnected, in this SINGLE "One" World "Tree", for all of us, that is "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

    .

    "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is NOT like "Ancestry_com" or the like.

    .

    We DO NOT have "Private"/"Personal" 'Trees' in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" like other "Web" Sites; and/or, 'standalone' personal programmes.

    .

    We do not even, own; or, manage; and, are NOT even responsible for, the "Deceased" individuals/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

    .

    "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch" is built on a "Open Edit" Platform - hence, why any registered User/Patron can "Edit" (ie. Add, Delete; and/or, Change) ANY "Deceased" individual/person in "Family Tree" of "FamilySearch".

    .

    Now ...

    That said ...

    .

    Provided that by "incorrect entry", you mean, an individual/person (and, NOT a "Record"; or,"Source") ...

    .

    You DO NOT "Delete" an "incorrect entry", being an individual/person, from your Ancestral lines (ie. you "Branches"), you "Remove" them, if they do not belong there.

    .

    Whereas, if by "incorrect entry", you mean, a "Record"; or,"Source"; then, that is another matter.

    .

    So ...

    The question is ..

    Which is it, an individual/person; or, a "Record" or "Source"?

    .

    Please advise.

    .

    Brett
