	In a moment of poor concentration I entered the name of a father for the wrong relative and am having trouble deleting it. Is there a quick and easy way of putting this right or do I have to delete the entire branch ? Any help would be much appreciated! Pam

	Probably easiest to edit the incorrect name to Unknown Unknown (or similar) and edit it to the right name when you have found it out.
	Researching: Sherwood (Kent); Jesson (London); Worboys (Herts)
