Someone unknown added a name to my family tree, without any proof or historical document.

Someone, completely unrelated to my family and without any online contact through the platform, permanently added a person who does not belong to my family, who does not share any name or document with my family. How is this possible, and how can I remove this name from my family tree?

    Good afternoon @Luciane Briotto
    The FamilySearch tree is fully open-edit and collaborative. Any signed-in user can make connections or edits to profiles of the deceased.
    If you believe the connection is in error, you can undo the edit. You can also contact the other contributor through the Chat messaging system and perhaps discuss the subject.

    There are Help articles covering almost any case. This one covers correct parent/child relationships: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-correct-parent-child-relationships-in-family-tree

    Hope this helps.
