    Where do I find a form or page or whatever to delete a marriage? I'm on the 2 week Pro trial, so I should be able to do this, right? I have permission to edit the profile in question. Both the creator and manager of this profile are in my family group. The profile is married to about 8 different men when she only had 2 husbands.

    Pro or not, our position so far has been to try to prevent users from splitting the trees. Obviously this poses some problems if people have entered connections that are just plain wrong. At this point your best bet is to email help@geni.com and explain the situation (with links to the profiles). Also, see my message here.

    Could you please tells us what kind of problems splitting the tree would make?

    I can't see any, except that profiles "hanging in the air" probably should be marked or listed in the sidebar or another place, but they always shows up in the managed/added-by list, and they are also easily picked up by the search and hot-match functionality.

    I am finding such profiles every week, and I am currently working on a line where I intentionally have cut loose some branches and bookmarked them to be reconnected when finished.

    Yesterday I found out that someone had merged together the Nordic kings Halvdan Milde (the mild) and Halvdan Hvitbeinn, and without the Select Parents menu and other methods for splitting the tree it is impossible to fix the error unless the tree is totally clean without any pending merges and you have edit access to all profiles.
