The dreaded change of Ancestry

[coombs]

It is an acquired taste, I find I am getting more used to the new Ancestry format now. It takes time, but the layout of the trees is the most difficult but again I am getting the hang of it.

Anybody know how to edit the source citations on the new Ancestry.  I incorrectly attached an incorrect record to one of my people and although I can and have removed the actual record from the facts area, it still remains within the list of sources and I can't see how to edit/delete these.

If you hover over the required source citation, the EDIT function will become visible.
Click on that to open the edit box; Remove is in the bottom right corner.

Thanks but I obviously didn't explain myself very well.

From viewing a profile I have then gone to 'Search on Ancestry'.  When you get the list of results you also get a list of what records are already in the tree attached to that person.  In that list I have records that don't actually refer to the person in question - may relate either to spouse or to 2nd spouse etc which I don't want in her list.  I can go the actual record and remove it so that it doesn't appear on the facts page of that individual but I can't seem to remove it from the original individual's list of records even though it no longer shows in facts.

Relates to when I was very new to Ancestry many moons ago and any that cropped up under the old Ancestry were removable but that facility seems to be lost.

So from the list of records click on the one you don't want.

It goes to the record and a message appears saying

This is attached to xxx in tree yyy.  Remove

Click on Remove and it's gone

Yes what I am trying to say is the record has gone and no longer appears in facts but it still appears in the list of records attached to the person when you next do the search in Ancestry.  I can't seem to get rid of it from the list although I have got rid of it from the facts!  I think its because the source is still attached even though the record no longer is.

You used to be able to go to source citations and delete but cant seem to find that option now.

Yes, when you do the search follow the steps in my previous post

Hi blue
I read in one of your posts that your father lived in India street Liverpool?
My great grandfather lived in India street in number 25 I have hit a brick wall with him , his name was Bernard Morgan he was born Armagh around 1864 and his father was Owen Morgan a farmer , Bernard was with is wife in 1891 and was a baker his wife Mary Ann duffield was manager of the bakers shop . Any info you may know would be much appreciated, Bernard worked as a baker on the ships going back and forth to Quebec after 1904 ( last info on him ) he left his wife and children and took off to make his fortune ( family story passed down about where he went but  no trace
though ) 😞 I have lots of family info but not birth certificate, I’m interested in any photos India
Street as my mother who is 83 is still alive and would love to know about her fathers birth place also called Bernard Morgan who was born in 1891 in India street Liverpool  ,( my grandad ) thanks a lot any helpful hints appreciated
