Just seen a tip on another thread similar to this. If you export your Gedcom file to another family tree program, you can edit it there then import it back here.

Thanks Abigail, Perhaps I´ll just leave them where they are then - sounds like too much hassle! Karen

Oh Dear Karen I had a situation like this and in the end had to delete the whole lot because trying to work down the branch to remove enough was not permitted whichever way I tried. I still haven't put them all back! Abigail

I altered the mothers names of one of my ancestors as I found out he was one of the sons from the first marriage. Couldn´t delete him as he was connected to `multiple relations´ so I then deleted his children and then added them again . then tried to delete his wife and I can´t do that either as I´ve added her parents etc. I´ve now got my ancestor and his wife twice on my tree and don´t know how to remove them without having to alter everything. Anybody any ideas please? Thanks in advance Karen
