Sophie - it depends how many people are attached below the affected one. Normally you have to start at the bottom and delete, working upwards until you have deleted the child that has the wrong mother. Next, assuming you have the second mother added, you type the data in again. If there are a lot that need changing you could download your file as a gedcom and put it into a family tree programme (you can get a free download) on www.familysearch.org - edit it there and upload to GR again. This has the added advantage that your tree is then backed-up on another site. Peter
