How do I change parents?

For years I've attributed a child to the wrong mother, due to an error in the bap register. I thought Thomas was Margaret's son when, in fact, he was the son of her sister Ellen. Can anybody tell me the easiest way to transfer Thomas (and his subsequent family) to be descendants of Ellen?

Which version of FH do you have?

In V4 go to the child's current family on the Focus Window, right click on the Child and Unlink the record.

Go to the correct Family and click Add Child then Existing Record, then select the child from the list.

Thanks Jane. It worked a treat. I should have known but it's a long time since I did any changes.
