Does anyone know how to delete ex husbands and their families.
There are no children from this marriage.

When you look at your tree and the individual you and to delete, there should be 3 choices below their name "Add" "Edit" "Delete" = providing there are no siblings you should be able to get rid of them by choosing "Delete"

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Think you start by deleting the ex. Then his siblings and then the parents etc .
It's done generation by generation
