Me too, I kept getting the message that if they were connected in more than one way I could not delete them. After hours of messing about I deleted the whole lot and started again - so I have a very small tree now! Abigail

> cant seen to get rid of this third child I presume you are referring to doing this directly to your tree here on the GR web site (if not what are you referring to?!?). In general its *a lot easier* if you do it in the genealogy software on your own PC and then generate a new GEDCOM file and upload it to GR to update the tree you have on line here at GR, to expose to others as you decide is appropriate. Most PC (and Mac) based genealogy software gives you reasonable flexibility in terms of detaching relationships etc. Cheers, Bill Sydney, Australia
