I think I have a new GR Problem

Someone contacted me yesterday about William Joss b 1813. He appears in my tree on this site with a wife and four children, one of whom is married with two children. This family group is not connected to anyone else.
The problem is that none of these people is on the Gedcom file that I uploaded into GR and I haven't a clue who they are...they do not appear in my master family tree file either.

Any ideas?

I had a similar enquiry last year. It turned out the name WAS on the gedcom I had loaded, it was a branch that I had previously unconnected on my FTM master, but not removed entirely.

Have you checked your GR tree to see if the name is there?

Yes - it's on my GR tree but not on my PAF which has more names than I have on GR..

May be you removed them from the PAF but not the GR tree - I had a similar thing happen where I realised I had the wrong wife in a marriage - changed it on my "proper" tree but forgot to do so on the GR one.
