There are two similar records for my great aunt. I have determined that one of those records is for a completely different person. But, there is a source on that person's page that belongs to my great aunt. How do I transfer the source from the wrong person to my great aunt's details page?

    Go to Review Attachments. Detach the record from the wrong person and then attach it to your great aunt. Put in the reason why this record refers to your great aunt and not the other person so other researchers can understand why and not change it back.

    But someone probably will do it anyway so you should click the Follow star so you'll be notified when it happens.
