When setting up my family tree I have made a mistake and I have forgotten to jnsert one of my great grandmothers. This mistake has been corrected. But there is a wrong family tree branch with more than 130 characters connected now to the wrong great grandmother and I am searching for a possibility to connect this branch to the correct great grandmother now. What do I have to do ? Does somebody know a way to make corrections ? The problem is to move 139 persons from  Appolonia Plönnig to Cattrina Lossius just above: See the attachement !

  Should be easy to fix if you explain better what connections to cut and reconnect where.

  I notice that we should merge two branches here, - Lorentz Andreas Lossius is my 9th great uncle which should be merged with your Lorentz (Andreas) Lossius.

  Please also note that Nordic women did NOT take and use their husbands name at that time, - that is a tradition that started between 1860-1923 (when we got a legislation on that), - a tradition that is almost gone again now

  Lorentz (Andreas) Lossius is a brother of my 11th great grandmother Cattrina Lossius. But I had mad a mistake when constructing the family tree and so I had forgotten her. Her husband and his son had the same name (Christian Ringling - but now junior and senior). Christian Ringling sen. was married with Cattrina Lossius. Christian Ringling jun. was married with Appolonia Amplönnig. This 10th great grandmother shows in the family tree now 139 single ancestors and relatives which in reality belong to Cattrina Lossius.

   

  That is my problem and I am really unfamiliar with the merging procedure !

   

  Is there any possibibility to help and solve this problem ?

   

  Best regards

  You can just use the Move function, - or simply the parents-pulldown menu if the parents is wrong.

  As far as I am able I have tried to solve my problem - but unfortunately unsuccessful. I think it will be better to contentrate the efforts for the Family Tree on the MyHeritage system. It is easier to handle and I can gather all necessary information which I want from Geni. By the way thank you for your help but I am to silly !!!

  I made a connection on my family tree that i have since found out is incorrect. I have tried repeatedly to edit and remove that connection. It always tells me it saves and yet it keeps showing up. I want to remove the connection permanently so that I can add the correct information, and I am getting frustrated that it is not doing what it is supposed to be doing. Specifically, I want to remove the parents I have connected to my 4x great-grandfather Samuel G Marshall
