Grandfather Captain Fred Phillips was a merchant mariner lost at sea off the coast of Norway 1956. He had a vessel in Ballard Washington, Rainbow II. His family name was Delong, probably from Northeast/East coast.

We are so happy to have you here in the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world together.
I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration. Don't be afraid to ask questions in our G2G forum and get involved as much or as little as works for you. Be sure to check out the tabs at the very top right hand side of your profile, there is lots to discover!
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do!
I am at a total lost how to do this...
Been struggling with adding stuff and now I see I have added a sibling to my grandfather that never had one and can not seem to get rid of it.
Also can not figure out how to make the tree public so others can see it and help me fill in the blanks.
Thank you for any and all suggestions.
Regards,
Jeff.
It looks like you need to change the privacy level for who you've added because right now it's set to private. Go to the privacy tab at the top of each profile to change that. To get rid of the sibling that you added to your grandfather you'll have to detach the parents. Click on the edit tab on that profile, then on the right hand side there is a replace/remove father link you can click on to remove the father and mother. Hope this helps.
This is just a note to say hi and to let you know that I'm available to answer questions about WikiTree.
