I have seven generations added to my family tree in error by other members. I would like to remove them in bulk or at least by mother/father combinations is this possible?

Short Answer: Most likely Yes, provided Six (x6) Generation follow-on. I am working on the premise that ONE wayward individual/person has been added to your Ancestral lines [As we DO NOT have a Tree on Family Tree of FamilySearch - we ONLY have Branches (ie. Ancestral lines) that are interconnected in this SINGLE One World Tree, for all of us, that is Family Tree of FamilySearch. And, from that ONE wayward individual/person, another Six (x6) generations follow-on from them. IF that is the case THEN Yes, you can Remove that ONE wayward individual/person; and, the other Six (x6) generations that follow-on from them will also be Removed. Depending on, where; and, how, that ONE wayward individual/person is connected to your Ancestral lines [ie. Part of a Couple Relationship; or, as a Child in a Family as part of a Patent-Child Relationship] they can be Removed. But That said You need to be careful/vigilant, that ONE wayward individual/person may have been added to your Ancestral lines through a Merge/Combine. IF that is the case THEN that can be a little more complicated and need through investigation/consideration before taking any action. If you have any further Questions please do not hesitate to ask. We would need to know the actual details before giving any specific advice. IF you are willing THEN you could provide the FamilySearch Person Identifier (PID) of that ONE wayward individual/person, with the details of what the problem/issue is and we could take a look and advise you further - the choice is yours. I hope this helps.

Thank you, Brett. I will investigate further before I take any action then.

The idea of allowing others to add people under the guise of using your own code number is confusing and adds to the problem of "wrong people" being added to your family. Can this idea of a code number be abolished?

@HilaryBennett2 are you talking about the ID that is attached to every person in the Tree?
