    .

    Rolanda

    .

    In the "Vitals' Section, under "Birth" record, select the word "Edit" which is "Blue" in colour.

    .

    Edit _ Birth

    .

    A "Pop-Up" (or, aka: "Modal") 'Window' will appear, headed "Edit Birth".

    .

    Edit _ Birth _ Pop Up or Modal _ Window

    .

    You can change it there.

    .

    Here is s "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

    .

    How do I change vital information in Family Tree?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-change-vital-information-in-family-tree

    .

    I hope this helps.

    .

    As an aside ...

    .

    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 "Websites"; 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'.

    .

    .

    ps: we have Ancestral lines ...
