The mother was accidently identified as a decond wife. When corrected, now the child is assigned as if the father was not the biological father. I can add the child correctly, but I cannot delete that same child incorrectly added. I keep getting the message "This person cannot be deleted because that would split the tree. Try deleting outer people on the tree first." 

What does it mean to delete the "outer people first?"
