Remove person from tree

June 4 in Family Tree

There is an entry in my family tree that cannot be correct. The data has this woman having three children before she is married and then having several more after marriage up through her mid-40s. The first child is also born in Ireland, while the person in question is living in the US. Is there a way to suggest an edit to remove this person? Thank you.

    Family Tree is maintained by us users. We can correct anything we find there. (Except for a few Read Only records). So you can take on this project yourself.

    I would suggest starting with each of the children. Research everything you can about them and find out who their parents really were. Get the children thoroughly documented with good sources and clean up their profiles completely before you start changing child parent relationships. Then get each one with his or her real parents.

    Do check out the change log for the woman you mention and see if there were any bad merges that need to be reversed. Incorrect merges are a common way of getting incorrect children showing up.
