	Someone has put incorrect data for my OH's grandfather in a tree and this has been copied so Thrulines is showing numberous ancestors that do not exist. The fact that this is the wrong person is confirmed by DNA tests on OH and her second cousin. Is there any way to get the situation corrected?

	Ancestry trees are notoriously inaccurate, As long as you own tree is accurate, ignore it.
