    Hi Lauralee,

    Here are the steps for removing or replacing a child in a family using Family Tree on the FamilySearch.org website:

    1. While signed in to FamilySearch.org, click Family Tree.
    2. Navigate to the person page of the child with the incorrect parents.
    3. If the Details section is not open, click the Details tab.
    4. Scroll to the Family Members section.
    5. Under Parents and Siblings, find the child's name, and click the Edit icon .
    6. If only one parent is incorrect, click Remove or Replace next to the incorrect parent. If both are incorrect, click Remove or Replace next to the child.
    7. A Remove or Replace box appears. Verify relationships, sources, and notes, then click the check box.
    8. Do one of the following:
      1. To remove a parent or parents, click the appropriate Remove button. Explain why, and then click Remove.
      2. To replace a parent or parents, click the appropriate Replace button. The Replace Person screen appears.
        • If you know a parent's ID number, click Find by ID Number, enter the ID number, and then click Find. Click Add Person. Explain your reason for the change, and then click Replace.
        • If you do not know a parent's ID number, complete the search fields, and then click Next. If the correct person or couple appears in the list, click Add Person. Otherwise, click Create New to create a parent record. Explain your reason for the change, and then click Replace.

    Hope this helps.

    The only difficult part is finding the Edit Icon mentioned above. It the the tiny piece of paper and pencil located to the right of a person's name in the Family Members section:
