How can I unattach wrong person on FamilySearch please?
« on: Sunday 31 December 17 10:23 GMT (UK) »
I have accidentally attached the wrong person on FamilySearch tree.  How can I remove them please?  Same name but from Canada. Message comes up about too many contributors so I can't remove. :( :-[  I should have pressed on button to create new person.

Any ideas how to take off the wrongly attached?  Surely there has to be a simple way. :-[

Why don't you write and ask them how to remove a person from your tree?  They do have a contacts page.

Click on Get Help at the top right of the page and then click on Contact Us, you can then fill in the form detailing your problem.

Thanks Girl Guide.  However, thankfully a kind person has just recently helped with the problem and this has now been rectified.  Apparently, all I needed to have done was to click on the little pencil icon next to the person's name and then have them detached. :)
