I'm new go Genicom.

I started by adding my personal data, Jos Boers, born in 1952
Then I added the names of my father and mother (Albrecht Boers, Madeleine Leyssen) and of my grandparents (Joseph Boers, Madeleine Apers)
Next step was to upload a GEDCOM-file from another project.
I got a message that there was a record match for my grandmother from the site of Barend Wurms, which I accepted.
The result is very wrong, now my grandmother is my spouse and I'm not able to remove this relationship. It should be like this, my grandmother Madeleine Apers on top and myself "Jozef Albrecht Boers" at the bottom but not married to Madeleine Apers. I tried to remove the relationschip between me and my "spouse Apers" but this didn't work

  Hi Jos, it looks like you accidentally merged yourself with your grandfather's profile Joseph Boers when you first imported the GEDCOM. We recommend undoing your GEDCOM import in your GEDCOM dashboard here: https://www.geni.com/gedcom

  Click "undo" next to each branch that was imported until the entire import is undone. See our FAQ on how to undo a GEDCOM import: https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018818713-Can-I-undo-a-GEDCOM-import-

  Once you undo the entire import, you can re-import your tree to Geni. If you have already manually added your parents and grandparents, then you can start the import with your grandfather or grandmother as the focus by going to their existing profile page, click "Actions" and select "Import GEDCOM." (method #2 in our FAQ: https://help.geni.com/hc/en-us/articles/229705127-Can-I-import-a-GEDCOM-into-Geni- ). This will take you to the import page.

  Since you have already uploaded your GEDCOM file, you should be able to select the file name from the dropdown in step 2 of the import page if not already selected.

  In step 3, you will select the name of the individual in the GEDCOM file that corresponds to the person in step 1. It is very important to verify that they are the same person to prevent incorrect merges.

  

  Next you may begin importing the tree.
