How to delete a record from Ancestry when there is no delete icon showing
« on: Monday 01 May 17 09:30 BST (UK) »
If anyone can help? I am trying to delete some incorrect military records from my tree on Ancestry website, but there is no bin icon on the record, and I cannot find an alternative delete button. Thanks

I am assuming that you have attached these records to someone in your tree.

Go to the person then the middle column "sources" click to view this source and at the bottom right hand of the record is a red "dustbin" click on this and it brings up remove/cancel, click on remove.

Hope I have explained this correctly.

If the record is in the middle of a line in the tree, delete the text and put ............
in the text area and all the other boxes, if you do a straight delete it will remove all the other people in the line. Be careful
