Hi Meryl, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but there is no easy way. You will have to delete the line one by one. Jim

An easier, if more drastic way is, if you have another software package with the info on. Update that one, delate the whole of the tree on GC and then upload a new gedcom file. Shows all your records as being new but much easier. Mike

Meryl, Try starting deleting the oldest generation first. You need to delete any preceding ancestors first before you can delete her. So that would be her grandparents, then parents and then her. Crista
