Dear Wylene, I have had the same thing happen. A relative submitted my line to the Ancestral File with the wrong ancestry. Changes to the Ancestral file takes time (all the correcters are volunteers) and they told me last year they have several years of work backed up. The supervisor stated to me it is easier to submit my entire data line with notes stating the changes and why. He encouraged me to standardized the data as much as possible. The following web address has a button for contributing data. http://www.familysearch.org/ I hope this helps fro one who has been there. John R.
