	How do I remove someone from my family tree?

Solution To delete someone from your family tree click the small ‘x’ in the upper right hand corner of their box. If you have the 'flip node' preference enabled you will need to flip the node and click 'remove this person'. Because building a family tree is a collaborative process, there are three cases where you will not be able to remove a person:

1.   That person has joined Geni and "claimed" their profile. If this is the case, that claimed user must email us directly with a request for removal.
2.   That person has other relatives attached to him or her, who would otherwise be disconnected from the tree.
3.      The person who added that unclaimed Profile, the manager, does not allow the Profile to be edited by others.

That second situation can be handled by first deleting the attached relatives, which will then make your target person removable.

Do one of these situations apply? If not, please send a help request to help@geni.com and we will investigate.
