    please keep in mind - we are all working together on a SINGE family tree database

    This is not a "my tree" versus "your tree" system

    (other than living persons - which are only viewable in your own account

    also note that multiple parental relationship can be stored - biological and step/adopted

    if something is in the wrong position - it is fixable - but usually the first question to ask

    is are the child and parent of the incorrect relationship - both deceased?

    if they are - anyone could correct this - not just you . . . since again - this is a single collaborative database

    if it is a relationship of living people - YOU will need to correct it - no one else will be able to.

    here is a link on how to correct relationships:

    and here is a video I highly suggest viewing - so as to understand - how that branch of the family all of a sudden popped up - without you entering it.
