Error in my established tree
When I first started my tree when I entered my maternal grandmother's information and a whole tree was established. After looking at several census records, draft registration cards and birth certificates I found the man entered as her father [LKRH-5QR] is incorrect and [GSWB-SCQ] is the correct information. How do I go about correcting this information? I don't want to mess up anything. Also several sources under [LKRH-5QR] do actually belong to [GSWB-SCQ] as he went by his middle name not his first name. Thanks for the assistance

@Michelle66496 Thanks for your note and questions. When I look at the records you indicate, LKRH-5QR has two different wives while record GSWB-SCQ has no spouse. I have attached some links giving instructions below. But what I really suggest you do is to call the Family Search help line. They will help you make the adjustments to your tree. You can reach the help line for US and Canada at 866-406-1830. They are open 8am to 8pm Mon thru Sat and 1pm to 8pm on Sunday. Times are Mountain time zone. Hope this helps.

@Michelle66496 In looking at the Sources for LKRH-5QR there were two 1940 and two 1950 census records which indicated that two lines have been 'crossed'.
The spouses were quite different as well. Since un-merging is bit complicated I went ahead and made my best attempt to straighten things out. Please take a quick look see and get back on if anything needs adjusting
