How can I fix a mistake?

Question

Hi!  How can I move or edit 4 siblings into the children category?

Thank you,

Tom

Answer 1

This is Mary's WikiID: Brown-173244

Copy that, then you will have to go into each sibling/child's profile and, on their Edit tab on the right, replace the mother who is currently there with Mary's Wiki ID. And don't forget to save each one.

This is Amos's WikiID: West-11626
Copy that, then you will have to go into each sibling/child's profile and, on their Edit tab on the right, replace the father who is currently there with Amos's Wiki ID.  And don't forget to save each one.

Hi.   I will give that a try.  I have spent about 45 minutes with it and couldn’t figure it out.  Hope this works.  

Thank you,

Tom

I'm not sure how to paste the new name into the Fathers spot?  Currently it has Alexander F. Brown.  Mary Ann Brown mother is unknown.  Any advice?  I'd really like to correct this mistake.  Alexander F. Brown is the father of Mary Ann Brown and mother is unknown.

If Alexander is the father of Mary Ann, then you don't need to change it, do you?  You only do the changing-and-replacing with the four children who actually belong to Mary Ann and Amos.

I've done it for you now, since you seemed to be having so much trouble.  Hope it's now what you wanted.

Ros,

Shouldn't you have explained HOW you did that so next time Tom will know what to do?  Just asking.

---

I *did* explain.  Look at my answer (above all these comments).  I explained step-by-step.

---

But it seems he didn't know how to paste the ID in the proper place.  That was all I meant.  Since you went ahead & did it for him, he may not know how to do it next time something gets entered accidentally.

Hi!  Thank you so much for corrected that information. It looks perfect now. I appreciated the help.
