Changing to correct father

Post by Dufferoonie » 08 May 2014 20:52

My g/g/grandfather in in the wrong family. His uncle is really his father. His siblings are really his cousins.
How can I move my g/g/ father and decendants to have his correct father?


Thank you for your help.

In the Focus Window display the current father of your g/g/grandfather, so that your g/g/grandfather is shown as his Child.
Right-click on your g/g/grandfather (Child) and choose Unlink Record.

Now display his current Uncle, and click the blue Add Child link.
Use Link Existing Record and select your g/g/grandfather.
