How to correct a profile that is mis entered

Question

I connected to Yeisley-1 which is the ID that shows up for Eva Yeisley.  The app entered he (brother?), Nicholas Yeisley's info.  How do I delete this entry from my tree?

Answer 1

No need to delete anything Joy.  If you open the Edit window on Elbert Todd's profile and go to the right column, 'Edit Family', you'll see a link to remove the connection to Nicholas Yeisley as Elbert's mother.  When you click that you'll get an option to enter the correct profile.  I suspect it should be Evaline (Yesley) Todd (Yesley-1), who was the wife of his father.  If you have problems, please post again.

Edit:  Thanks Linda.  I fixed my misquote on the wife's ID, so hopefully no confusion was caused.  It must have been getting close to my bed time last night!

Joy,

I have replaced the mother of the profile with Evaline Yesley-1, which is mother of Bessie Todd-1196, William Elbert's sister, and wife of James Harrison Todd-1195.

It is a little scary to do it when you are new, so I have done it for you.

Nicholas Yeisley-1 was born 1708, so definitely was not correct, since William Ebert was born 1899.
