Hi Bill,
A link is a connection between one person and another in the family.
If you unlink a son from his parents, the son and all his descendants
will be unlinked from the parents and any other children or relatives
connected to them.
It's like cutting off a branch of a tree.
If you do this and then look at View > Tree Finder and click Refresh,
you'd find you had a least two trees in your database.
Hope that clarifies enough for you to move on in your data entry. If
not, get back to me and I'll try again :-)

Hi Cathy.
OK, I think I understand now. Thanks for the clarification - I'll give
it a try (very carefully). As I have never unlinked anyone before, I have
a couple of questions. 1) As I enter these possible ancestors, do I
unlink each one as I enter them, or will they all be unlinked after GGGF
& GGGM are unlinked? 2) If they turn out to be my relatives, do I
change the unlink to link for each one separately, or--? 3)If they are
not of my line, what is proper way to delete them? As you can tell,
I am trying to be very cautious before I start doing this. Thanks much.
