    Hello @VickiFought,

    Here are the instructions for removing your father from your husband's family. Navigate to your husband's Person Page and then:

    1. If the Details section is not open, click the Details tab.
    2. Scroll to the Family Members section at the bottom of the page.
    3. Under Parents and Siblings to the right, find your husband's name and click the Edit icon (small pencil to the right of his name).
    4. Click Remove or Replace next to the incorrect parent.
    5. A Remove or Replace box appears. Verify relationships, sources, and notes, then click the check box.
    6. Do one of the following:
      1. To remove a parent, click the appropriate Remove button. Explain why, and then click Remove.
      2. To replace a parent, click the appropriate Replace button. The Replace Person screen appears.
        • If you know a your father-in-law's ID number, click Find by ID Number, enter the ID number, and then click Find. Click Add Person. Explain your reason for the change, and then click Replace.
        • If you do not know his ID number, complete the search fields, and then click Next. If the correct person or couple appears in the list, click Add Person. Otherwise, click Create New to create a parent record. Explain your reason for the change, and then click Replace.

    Here is the link to this information in the Help Center. You can print it out to keep it handy as a reference.
