Hi Sue, I did delete a couple but as the others have parents spouses siblings etc I am not being allowed to delete. It is annoying because if you make a mistake you seem to be stuck with it but I have got on to GR to ask their advice otherwise I could end up deleting at least half my tree!

,,start by deleting the parents then anyone else you want to get rid of.

Thank you for the advice. I did try deleting children and working my way through the family but as everyone was connected it was too confusing so maybe I'll just contact GR. I'll certainly be more careful in future. Thanks

if you need to contact GR, the best way is by using the email address ................

DONT KNOW IF THIS SHOULD WORK
BUT TRY BY DELETING THEIR KIDS FIRST
THEN PARENTS THEN RE ENTER THE ONES TO KEEP.

Think I may have already posted this question under the wrong subject sorry.

What i want to know is how do I remove relatives that I have put onto family tree twice by mistake (I'm having one of those days) I'm told I can't delete because they have parents, spouse and children
