I am furious that someone is names of people as relatives in my family that are not actually relatives. How can I get rid of this and/or contact the person who is posting this incorrect information?

Jeff, Geni Curator What information or relationships are incorrect in your tree? I'll take a look, but I currently only see profiles that you've created.

Lynn Ingram I received an email that I had SmartMatches, and all of the information below the line here is what was given to me:
Here are 1 entries with incorrect information:
1) In this entry, it is NOT true that Eloise Driggers Ingram is a sibling of James Edwin Ingram and Annie Jo Ingram.
It is also NOT true that Jim Ingram and Leamon Ingram and Alice Ingram are siblings of Ward Beecher Ingram, Claude W. Ingram, and Elliott Ingram. Who is posting this wrong information in MY family?

I want these people who are NOT related to us removed.

Jeff, Geni Curator Lynn, what you're seeing there is not profiles within the Geni tree. Those are matches of your relatives to other online trees, in this case FamilySearch. If you follow it to the source, it will take you here: https://familysearch.org/tree/person/L23V-V7V/details
The information on Eloise appears to be added by Chuck Folkers.
Geni is just pointing out the possible match that may help you add information to your tree. In this case, if the information is wrong, then you'll need to contact the managers of the FamilySearch tree. Looks like Steven Wayne Pearson may be a manager.
Hope that helps

Lynn Ingram Thank you so much. I had no idea what was going on there, as I don't spend much time doing online genealogy. Your explanation helped. I went to Family Search and corrected the information. I truly appreciate your time.
