I took out 20 people, and then realised that the whole of my later family tree post-1950 had to come out to get to my great grandmother, in fact everybody. I think I'll stick with a piece of paper. There's a fault in the entering system and there's nothing like it being you that's suffering to concentrate the mind.

I've posted this tip before, but it might help you - you'll probably have to delete the children first, then add a spouse to the lady concerned, first name "Not" and surname "Known". Then when you add the children again, click on Not Known, and they will appear on your tree as Father Not Known. Jan.

Yesterday I added three children born to my great grandmother before she married my grandfather, and then their children. Quite a load. When I looked at the family tree afterwards I found that these three children born 1851 and 1854 (she married my g/grandfather in 1855 leaving these first three children with her parents) are now credited to the man she married. Does this usually happen, or did I do something wrong in the entering? Do others of you get this happen/ My g/grandmother never said whose children they were.
