How do I edit to delete incorrect information?

Question

Lizzie Vickers, born Sept 1866, Tallahassee, Fl is listed as DNA as mother of Lindy Vickers (my grandmother).  My other research has lead me down a different path.  

Lizzie Fisher Vickers B:abt 1860 Fl D:29 September 1926 Tallahassee,  Fl  

I'm confused because i want to follow the DNA through Ancestry but the Census report show otherwise.  Please advice on what to do here?  

Thank you,

Zella, the WikiTree DNA connections are not made by comparison of DNA data of two (or more) people.  Here, you only report that you have taken a DNA test and then that information automatically appears on profiles that have been connected to you as your parents, their parents, etc.  The fact that you entered your test information on your profile, combined with the fact that it is shown on your mother's, grandmother's, and great-grandmother's profiles is the result of that and not of any matching of anyone's DNA data with anyone else's.

I don't understand the information you put here for Lizzie Fisher Vickers.  Does she have a WikiTree profile?  If so, what is her profile's ID?  (It would probably be Fisher-xx where xx is a number, but might be Vickers-xx).  I also don't know what census report you are referring to.  Could you please put the census information and/or citation here so that we can all check it and be able to help?

I did some searching and found many census records for her that I added to her profile.  You should now be able to add that information to her biography.

I also found a family tree record at family search that shows her LNAB (Last Name At Birth) as Fisher, with different parents, but has many of the same census records attached.  I would write this off as an error that may be copied on several family trees across the internet but you might want to add a ==Research Notes== section and mention this.
