Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

If you contact GR explaining what you need done, they can do it for you.........the GR tree isn`t very user friendly,

If you want one on a free site i reccomend Tribal Pages....

Yes, that's how it came about and no, there's no solution with the tree on GR. Easy to accomplish on other family tree programs.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

I suddenly realized that I had 4 names on my tree that each appeared twice and all their children etc too. I couldn't believe that I had made such a mess of it and have spent best part of four hours trying to put it right without much success. Also in doing this I have lost a bit which I can look up on census's again.

I now think, after taking a break, that I have worked out why I have this problem. I have brother and sister A.... marrying sister and brother B thus putting them on both A & B's tree with shared grand parents etc.

Do you think this is how it came about and is there a solution.
