    Are you trying to remove them or edit? If removing them, you can disconnect them where they entered your tree. For example, the wrong father, click the pencil on marriage box and replace or remove him. You can also edit vital information. Look at the latest changes where the connection is incorrect, remove or restore to fix. Make sure to send a note to the contributor of the incorrect information so they will understand why they have misinformation. We can also help you better if you include the names of the ancestors with their PID numbers that are incorrect. Good luck and if you need more help, please let us know.
