How do I restore an Other Relationship that was deleted from Family Tree?

Deleted data is still saved in the Family Tree change history, so you can restore almost anything you delete. To restore Other Relationships, go to the Latest Changes menu on the person page.

Before you start

Please be sure to review any sources, notes, discussions, and reason statements that have already been added about this relationship. Sources can be found on the sources tab of a person’s page, or they can be linked to relationships themselves. To see specific relationship sources, open a relationship edit menu.
