just a quickie as this is a useful tool if you dont already know it - the kind people on ancestry told me about this -

ok if you have a mistake for eg you put the wrong wife or whatever - you can delete the relationsip without deleting the person from the tree - you click on relationships for that person and remove whats not right the person will still be hanging on as a 'floating person' and you can then later add to a different part of your tree when its right but searching in the box - so if you add the wrong children you can re-add them as well somewhere else - particularly uselful if you had the wrong census and you added a whole bunch of children -

happy hunting

has anyone put a marriage it which sounded right as the parents where right and then you look again and you found they married at age 9 or something then you realise you have the wrong couple !!!!!!!!

ancestry also puts a little warning if you have put the wrong century in - it says - are you sure you want to use this is before the childbearing age ?? or too long after fathers death !
