Relationship errors usually have a source

When a family tree looks wrong, the cause is often a missing parent, a duplicated person, a spouse attached to the wrong branch, or a child added under the wrong node.

Review the tree step by step

Start with the oldest confirmed generation and move downward. Check one branch at a time. If two people share the same name, use dates, spouses, and children to confirm identity.

Save and refresh after corrections

After editing relationships, save the changes and refresh the chart. Ask another family member to review the corrected branch before adding more people.

Begin gentlyKeep remembrance in a place your family can return to.

A memorial can start small and become richer as relatives add photos, stories, and messages.
