    Deleting a source person

    I have an isolated ancestor on my new Reunion that says Peter Adam - source. He's not connected to anyone, although I have 5 other Peter Adams, who are all legitimately connected, so I feel the need to clean him out. Maybe he was added as a mistake. How do I do this?

    An easy way to delete a person from your family file is to select that person's name in the People sidebar on the right and choose File -> Delete -> Selected Person. Then, click Delete.

    Other ways to delete a person can be found in the manual by searching for "delete people." To access the manual, choose Help -> Contents or click on the "?" in the lower-left corner of just about any Reunion window.

    I hope you find this information helpful

      I have Reunion 12.0, and I don't see an File -> Delete -> Selected Person anywhere. I clicked on the person I was to delete, both left and right -- no luck. Any other way to do this?

        The person has to be selected in the Sidebar. So... right-click (or control-click) on a person and choose "Show in Sidebar," then look in the File menu and the Delete -> Selected Person option should be available.

          It's OK, I just found that I can drag the person to the Clipboard, thus removing them from the Family View!
