I have just realized that William Coombs (b. 1736 d. 1814) is GRANDfather of Philip Coombs (b. 1803 d. 1871) not the father. The father of Philip Coombs is also named Philip Coombs, however, I have William listed as the father. How can I add in another Philip as the father and put William as the grandfather as it should be?

Capt. William Coombs, Sr.

Philip Henry Coombs, III

i always ask geni. seems i can never get it straight without them guiding me through.

Joseph, turn the problem around. :-D
Add a NEW Philip Coombs as his BROTHER and then change Philip II to be his son, by editing the Relationship tab in his profile or in the tree view.

Yes, thank you Shmuel. I'm not entirely sure if I did what you said right, but whatever I did, it worked haha.
