I'm new to the site so I'm not sure what the page is called but L24L-RF1 has the wrong spouse listed. It has one of her children listed as her spouse. How can we get this corrected?

    The ancestor page I believe is what it is called.

    It looks to me like the person G47W-RMG (spouse of L24L-RF1) was created correctly as Calvin Curtis Vanderford, but then in 2023 someone changed the name to Curtis Ray Vanderford. Every source connected to him uses the name Calvin, so it appears that all you need to do is to change the name back to Calvin Curtis Vanderford. The name will then match the sources that are already attached to that profile.

    To change the name, you just need to click the Edit button (pencil icon) to the right of his name in the Vitals section of his profile page.

    But there's a separate large problem that you'll need to fix. There's a profile GD5B-YQK that is both the son and father of G47W-RMG. That's obviously incorrect and will cause problems with the display of trees for this family.
