How do I start a new tree?
I have made many mistakes as well as others who have added to my records. I don't have very many people in my tree, I would love to start over. Is that possible?

Hello ZScott1,
Thank you for posting your question in the community. FamilySearch does not provide an option to delete your family tree to start over. The FamilySearch Family Tree is a single collaborative tree intended to connect the entire human family.
If you find errors in Family Tree, you can make corrections and attach sources to support your changes. We can help you to make the corrections. You can correct vital information, correct a parent-child relationship and you can change a wrong spouse. You can search for the articles that will guide you step by step to make those changes. If you would go to familysearch.org and sign in, then in the top right corner select "Help" (the question mark in the circle) and then Help Center
Type in keywords: "vital information" and then click the magnifying glass, you will see an article that will help you with this issue. You can also search the community by writing keywords in the search bar. We are going to include the links for those articles and we hope that they will prove helpful to you.
Please let us know if this information was helpful to you.
We wish you continued success in your family history efforts.

FamilySearch is not a "my tree" versus "your tree" system (like Ancestry.com is)
it is a single collaborative system that we all share a common database.
any entries that have been made in error - simply need to be corrected.
There is no need to "start over"
