Thanks for your PM, Andrew, glad I could help.

Hi again Andrew

From your Watchlist it appears that you have created several duplicate profiles.

For example, you have a profile for

• John Seath born March 8, 1794 Dysart Scotland, died March 17, 1823;
• John Seath born August 3, 1794 Dysart Scotland, died March 17, 1823; and
• John Seath born August 3, 1794 Dysart Scotland, died March 17, 1823;

If they are the same person, then you need to merge them into the profile with the lowest numbered WikiTree-id, which is Seath-23.

I'm happy to help with this if you need assistance,

Maryann

Hi Andrew

To remove the link between a parent and a child:

1. Go to the parent's profile;
2. Click the Edit Tab;
3. On the far right, underneath where it says Edit Family, it says Children: and lists the children for that parent, underneath the list there is a link [add/edit]. Click on that link;
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Edit Family of ... page that opens;
5. if the parent has more than one child, the children are listed and you select the child to be removed by clicking the button beside the name of that child.
6. Click the big green button Remove child from ...

Hope this helps,

Maryann

I see you have uploaded a GEDCOM. There are several steps between uploading and importing a GEDCOM.

Please read WikiTree's GEDCOM instructions and/or these alternative step-by-step instructions with screenshots. Also, consider reading discussions about GEDCOMs in our forum, G2G.

A couple of tips:

• Start by importing only 10-20 profiles, so you can get a sense of the time needed to edit each profile. Then you can decide whether to commit to editing an entire GEDCOM.

• If your ancestor was born over 200 years ago, she/he likely already has a WikiTree profile.
