Deleting incorrect contacts

    A new contact has been reported to me, but the other person's relationship is only Neighbour.
    I don't want to make contact, but I would like to delete the contact as it is irrelevant.
    Is there any way of doing this?

    It might seem irrelevant to you, but one would hope that the other person had a good reason for entering someone who was a neighbour. For example, neighbours sometimes register a death - because they were the only person present at the time - or may work in the some trade. Or perhaps one of the children was living with, or employed by, the neighbour in a different census. These are just a few examples that spring to mind - you will only know when you ask.

    However, if you discover that the other person didn't have a good reason you can suggest that they remove your relative(s) from their My Ancestors page. Once there are no shared entries you can ask me to delete the connection.

    Peter, thank you. I will contact them and see what they say.
