	I imported my tree using Gedcom and when I display the tree, the first records shown are from an obscure branch. Can I change how the tree is initially displayed?

	This is from GR help section How do I change my root person/tree owner? NEW If your tree opens up with an incorrect root relation/tree owner, you can alter this yourself. · Open your family tree by clicking 'Family Tree' then 'My Tree'. · At the very top of the page, click 'View Other Trees'. · You'll see your tree listed at the top of the list, and a button to the far right which says 'Change Root'. · You can then start typing the name of your new root relation and the tree builder will bring up a list of potential relatives. · Remember to save your new tree owner.
