    WHAT are you trying to 'modify'/'edit'?

    ▬ Your "Settings", in your 'FamilySearch' Account

    ▬ You (personally) in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'

    ▬ Another individual/person in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch'

    ▬ Something else

    FYI

    Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Just in passing ...

    You DO NOT "Delete", an incorrect individual/person, in an "Ancestral" Line.

    You either, (1) "Remove"; and/or, (2) "Replace", an incorrect individual/person, from an "Ancestral" Line.

    ie. "Remove"; and/or, "Replace" them, from the incorrect "Relationship" (ie. "Couple"; or, "Parent-Child")

    Here are some "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch':

    A person in Family Tree has the wrong spouse

    How do I correct parent-child relationships in Family Tree?

    Good Luck.

    I hope, that this/these may help/assist, somewhat.

    IF, you need any more help/assistance, in this matter; THEN, do not hesitate to come back to this post of yours.

    This is not helpful. I have found that the parents of my Great grandmother were not her biological parents and I want to change it, but I cannot work out how to do this, I would like to edit my entries, as the siblings are also not her biological siblings.

    You state that your great-grandmother's parents were not her biological parents. If that means that they were her adoptive parents, then you should leave her parents as they are since that would be an important part of her history. You can mark her relationship to them to clarify the situation. Click on the pencil and paper icon next to her name where she is listed as a child then click on Add Relationship Type:

    You can add her biological parents by clicking on the Add Parent link above her parents. You will then have her relationships all accurately displayed:
