	Click on "your Names" on the left hand side menu. Look for the surname of the "wrong mothers and then click on "view your names". When the next screen comes up, click on "immediate family" and then you have the option to delete the person. Good luck!

	I've just tried this for one of my "mistakes" (one name appears twice in separate squares as the wife of one cancestor). I want to delete one of them but I keep getting the message that you can't delete someone attached to several relatives. Do I REALLY have to delete all the children and start again? I may leave someone out!
