    You could click on the pencil to the right of the person's name in the Family Members section of a person's page. A dropdown box will appear and you can then remove the person by clicking on remove or replace and follow the prompts. If you need additional help, please message me with your phone number and I willbe happy to assist further.

    Another idea is to go into Latest Changes on the person that is incorrect in your tree. Find how they got connected and then "undo" or "restore" whichever is correct for you. We would also suggest that you send a message to the contributor who added this ancestor. They believe that they are correct and your knowledge will help them and they may more information for you.
