Someone added a child to one of my families and I can't unlink them. My family was NEVER in Georgia!

    Ron Tanner said: Today NFS only allows the person who linked the child to un-link it. We are working on a solution this year that will help with this problem. Currently your only recourse is to contact the person through discussions or email and ask them to unlink this child.

    Thanks,
    Ron Tanner

    Ron Tanner said: You can contact support to help you walk through this. But you can go to the proper tab on the details (parents and siblings v.s. spouses and children). Then click view relationship details at the bottom. Then you can click edit and from there change or delete the relationship, if you added it.

They have my father married to his grandmother and I can't do a thing about it. No way to contact the person who added it. I would love to be able to clean up my pedigree chart.
