How to Delete a Person From Your Tree on Ancestry.com

Sometimes you have to delete a person from your tree on Ancestry.com,  but figuring out how to do that is not so easy.  The steps are listed to below to help you. But use caution ... because once you delete them, you won't be able to recover them.

1. Log into Ancestry.com and go to your tree.
2. Find the person you want to delete (take your time finding the right person)
3. Click the button that reads, EDIT THIS PERSON
4. On the same line that shows your person's name, look to the right and you'll see a link that reads, "Delete (and your person's name)". Click it to delete the person.
