William T Parson was put in as Olive V Parsons husband but he is her father.  David Parson is William T Parsons father.  They need to move over on spot each.

Edit Olive's profile, and on the right is the link to add/remove spouse.  Follow through on that, and once he is removed, he can be added as father instead.
I see this and when I try to do this it shows that he is her father.  The only place that it doesn't show this seems to be in the tree which is a problem.  Any other suggestions.

Thanks for your help.
That is, indeed, strange.  

I suggest you edit your question, and add the tag bugs.  I would also change to tech instead of help, for the category.
Sorry this wasn't helpful I have no idea what a tag bug is. You are speaking to someone who is has limited computer knowledge.
In you question, you have added a tag - "parsons".

I am suggesting you also add the tag - "bugs".  That will alert those who follow that tag, and who are more likely to be able to answer your question, or to track down why it is showing the way it is.

I think the problem is that William Thomas Parsons https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Parsons-14691

might still be linked to Olive's daughter as if he is her father.  I can't tell for sure, because of course i can't see her name, but that would produce the problem as you describe it.

I can't fix it, nor can anyone else who is not on the Trusted List of the private daughter.

So, Sandra, if you could go to the private daughter and ensure she has the right father, that would probably fix it.
