It depends on the relation. If it is a relation between parents and child you may be able to choose the correct parents from the drop-down list on the relation tab on the child profile. If not you can go to tree view and move the child to the correct parent and specify it is a child of that parent. Refresh to screen and if necessary move the child to the other parent and specify it is also a child of that parent. After refreshing the screen the child should now have the correct parents.

For other relations ask for help in https://www.geni.com/discussions/216411

In this case-- https://www.geni.com/discussions/240920-- two people seem to have been confused for one, both named John Church. I was able to remove the parent-child relationship (@Samuel Alansing Church and @John L. Church) but creating a a differen John Church, but I could not remove the bad husband-wife relationship (@Samuel Alansing Church and @Marilla Church).

Can you help?

I could not remove the bad husband-wife relationship-- which was @John L. Church and @Marilla Church (not Samuel Alansing Church, misstated above)

Can you help?

I have removed the connection between them for you, but maybe it would have been better when I reversed a merge.

Cutting a relation with a partner or reversing a bad merge is something a curator can do. As far as I know you cannot do that yourself.

Be careful on what you ask. In some cases it may be better to reverse a merge and in others it may be better to cut a connection. The older the merge and the more that has happened to the profile after the merge the more error prone reversing the merge will be.

Thank Thank you for your help. I think this happened to me one other time and is helpful to know what I need to ask for and who can do it.
