Sometimes we will find a family that has one or more incorrect
relationships in our pedigree, whether it be the wrong spouse, a wrong child, or a wrong
parent. This can be a result of several kinds of mistakes, like incorrect merges or mistaken identities.
There are several ways to
correct relationships. There are good
sources online that show several ways to fix the mistaken connections. Here are some simple instructions that are on familysearch.org.
Couple Relationships: Link to Instructions
You can find these and other helpful articles through “Get
Help” on Familysearch.org or The Family History Guide website on this page: Family History Guide Project 1
The important thing to remember is that you do not delete
people, you delete the relationship. Or
you edit the relationship. If you know who should be in the
relationships, then you can change the relationship. If you do not know who someone belongs to but
you know they shouldn’t be in your pedigree, unattach them from your tree by
deleting the relationship, but leave them in Family Tree for someone to find
and connect with later. Sources are key
to keeping your tree correct.
If you get stuck and have questions, give me a call.
