    @Denis7623 There is no way to go back to a certain point or size of tree. However, you can delete the relationship of people that you added incorrectly. See the article: How do I correct parent-child relationships in Family Tree? for more information on that.

    You can delete the people without sources or I will mark them as unverified because the unsourced information can be helpful in finding connections. I recently found a will because I had the unsourced information in my tree, then i was able to verify the information with the will

    @Denis7623 The individuals you've added [I assume to the Family Tree] were obviously not just 'made up' so it's a question of finding/adding sources to what you have and go from there. In all likelihood you will eventually find some of these same individuals already documented in the Family Tree along with relationships. If you assess them to be the same then you can either delete the one you created or carefully merge yours into the existing profile.

    What you've done is not uncommon as there are plenty of unsourced individuals out there. What you don't want to do is just let them sit there. Start getting the supporting primary/secondary sources with the goal of getting your line[s] integrated into their proper 'spot' in the Family Tree.
