When setting up my tree I entered my current wife instead of the mother of the children whom I was married to at the time. How do I sub out my current wife for the mother of the children?

    Go to the Family Member section of your profile page. Copy your current wife's ID number. In the couple event box, click on the edit pencil. There will be a link under your wife's name that says Remove Or Replace. Click that and go through that procedure.

    After this, again in that Family Member section of your profile, click Add Spouse under you and re-add your current wife as another spouse for you. You will see there is an option to add by ID.
