    Short Answer: We all make mistakes - sometimes, some real 'whoppers' ... 

    .

    That is why it is possible!

    .

    None of us are perfect!

    .

    And, NEW and inexperienced Users/Patrons, more often than no, do not always not understand what they are doing.

    .

    That goes for some regular (notice, I did not say, 'experienced') Users/Patrons. 

    .

    IF, that you know that that Child, "Joseph PREWITT" ( K4FY-H7K ), is NOT the Child of, "Michael PREWITT" ( MW1V-7XJ ); and, "Elizabeth SIMPKINS" ( G7Z5-MT7 ); then, just "Remove" them as Parents.

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    I just took a look as the "ChangeLog" for "Joseph PREWITT" ( K4FY-H7K ), his ORIGINAL Parents were "Michael PRUITT" ( 2Q1V-RFW ) and "Rachel Elizabeth SIMKINS" ( LHR3-DF1 ), BOTH, of whom are NOW "Deleted" (ie. "Archived") individuals/persons = [ie. most probably "Merged"/"Combined" a few (too many) times over].

    .

    Then:

    .

    2014

    NEW Father ADDED = "Michael PREWITT" ( MMS7-35Y )

    Another (NEW??) Father REMOVED = "Michael PREWITT" ( MMR3-WRJ )

    2016

    NEW Father REMOVED = "Michael PREWITT" ( MMS7-35Y )

    2017

    NEW Father ADDED = "Michael PREWITT" ( MW1V-7XJ )

    2020

    NEW Father REMOVED = "Michael PREWITT" ( MW1V-7XJ )

    .

    Then

    NEW Father RE-ADDED = "Michael PREWITT" ( MW1V-7XJ )

    With a NEW Mother ( Wife ) "Elizabeth Simpkins" ( G7Z5-MT7 )

    .

    The stuff of 'Nightmares' ...

    .

    As I said ... 

    .

    We all make mistakes - sometimes some real 'whoppers' ... 

    That is why it is possible! 

    .

    You must ALWAYS look at what has transpired for ALL the individuals/persons concerned (ie. Father; Mother; and, Children) to get a handle on the 'Big Picture'.

    .

    Life was not meant to be easy ...

    .

    Good Luck in addressing/fixing that 'Mess'/'Nightmare' ...

    .
