I have two frank McClean in the tree. One is senior and one his son. The son of the senior is Alfred Ernest McClean and I have put him as the son of Frank jnr. The thing is that Alfred Ernest has wife and children. I don't want to have to delete them all and re enter. How do I fix this please.

Hi,

Go into Admin mode.

Find Alfred Ernest's family page

Click the small 'edit' box beside his name

At the bottom of the page you will see a sub heading - Family

Within that frame click on the tiny downward arrow where the father's name is shown.

From the resulting list select the real father.

If necessary you may change his mother in the same way.

Don't forget to click 'Save'

Thank you ever so much. Will his family follow him? I dreaded having to do them all over again.

You asked, "Will his family move with him when you move him to the right father?

I replied, "They will."
