I cannot seem to eliminate the wrongly indexed parent (Revince Hainot) in this record.

    @SteveL3 Looking at the record (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9398-3553-Y?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3A6J8H-JQHT&action=view&cc=2138505&lang=en&groupId=), if you click to edit relationships and then click in the empty Parent field to add Revince Hainot, that name does not show as one that is "in the record" or "on the page". It appears that he was missed in the indexing. So, scroll to the bottom of the list of names you see when you click in the parent field and click Name Not Indexed. That should allow you to add Revince Hainot. (Hope that works for you)

    @N Tychonievich Revince Hainot is not a person. It is a misinterpretation of the PLACE mentioned in the record.

    I successfully removed the incorrect index of that place, Province Hainaut, as a person.

    @SteveL3 I could not remove the incorrect father from the daughter's record. The program would not permit an empty field for the father on the daughter's record.

    I switched to the record for the non-existent father and was able to remove him. That passed the program's approval.
    I had not yet reported my effort here because such corrections don't always stick. I was watching to be sure the change did not revert.

    Hope this helps.
