I do not find it any great problem where the parents or siblings appear on the page - just click on "Change Focus Person", then (if necessary) on "Not your family? Find your family." This is a fairly straightforward workaround - especially when compared to the actions involved with removing relationships, for example! True, any enhancement would be fine, but I wouldn't expect this to be given priority over some of the other desperately needed improvements.

    Jordi Kloosterboer said: Yeah I know how to do the workaround which is how I was able to connect the person to the right person. It is just a matter of making it look better,
    easier to use, and less confusing.

    Jordi Kloosterboer said: Here is another example when there is only the biological mother listed in birth record (the man is the step father who the mother married 6 years later). Obviously the record should be moved to align with the mother when look at the names. (y and ij are the same in dutch).
