you should be able to just delete them if no children attached to them other wise you will have to delete them too jeanette

Hi Margaret I suppose it depends on how many people you have added so far. If you haven't added too many, if you click on Import/Export Tree on the left hand side, there is an option to delete your entire tree. If you don't want to start from scratch it's a bit more complicated. You can't delete anyone without deleting their descendants first. Jeanette x

You would be far better getting a proper family tree program, entering your family into that then exporting to GenesReunited. Any decent program will give you far more flexibility than GenesReunited which is quite a crude system. Remember to record the source of anything your record. MB

As you've only got 17 people in your tree, then you'll have to delete a maximum of 16 of them. Delete the children before you delete the parents.
