I have made errors on my tree by adding duplicate relatives. The system will not let me delete them as"they are connected to multiple relations". To correct the mistakes,I will end up having to delete most of the tree which has taken me a long time to do.Surely, the site will allow you to correct a mistake? Any ideas how to resolve. |

If the system won't let you delete the box, then you can enter the word deleted for name and surname, but I think you can't delete the birth year. |

Are you aware that the GR system automatically adds a blank partner / spouse when you enter a child? Many members are not and this is the biggest single cause of having duplicate names. You then go on to add the partner yourself and end up with two. |

You cannot delete from the middle of a family line,only from the ends. |

Thank you for all the help. I have learnt a lot from the replies! I am now looking for tips on software for my PC for building familty trees. I am looking for one which will allow me to upload photos, certificates and if possible, video/cine recordings.Any Ideas? |

I am trying to use the option ( Jim's suggestion) of "click on child "and then "change parent". I cannot find this option. Do you click on the box with the persons name on on the tree or do you use edit button? Either way, I cannot get them to work or am I missing another option? |
