If you have an off line tree programme eg Family Tree Maker, PAF or any of the others, you can down load the gedcom from here onto your home computer, sort things out and upload back again.

If you try to delete duplicated people, it won't let you if there are descendants,,,,,,,,unless you delete the descendants first. Alternatively, you could ask GR to sort out the duplicated people. There shouldn't be any problems altering the dates yourself.

On my family tree I have made a few errors by entering the same person twice or putting wrong dates in.
However most is corredt and vlidated.
Can I remove the entire tree and reinsert it with errors removed or corrected or s there a better easier way?
