combining and then making changes
Case: combining and then making changes (07511952)

Details: most of my work is done in Ancestry. I want to add to my familysearch line. In ancestry I can see the relationships between me and the person I am working on. I went to add family with the last name of Reynolds, Jewett and Lee. Others in FS worked on this line and I was able to connect the Jewett name. then I found info that was incorrect and manually changed it in FS but now children are under wrong father and I am afraid I changed someone's tree ... what can I do???? Lee and Reynolds only had one child. Lee also married a Jewett but late in life. Afraid I messed up FS trees ... what can I do????? Appreciate your help.

Familytree is different to ancestry in that it is one big world tree based on the wiki concept ie anyone can add, edit, change relationships etc.
If you think you have made a mistake in your changes, you can often undo those changes in the "Latest Changes" section on the right. Or you can use the "Remove or Replace" function to manipulate relationships to what they should be.
So if you now have children attached to the wrong father, just click on the edit pencil to the right of the child's name and follow the "Remove or Replace" option.
Don't worry too much - anything can be rectified :-)
