I was sent this family tree by my wife but when I recived the link I was set to be someone else instead of myself. Some other people have had that problem too whe she's shared it. Any way to fix this?

 

edit: No worries the problems being solved

Just in case someone else runs across this question:

1) You could ask them to send the sharing link from you specifically, instead of sharing a general link.

2) You can export your GEDCOM file and reimport it as a new family. One of the steps in that process is to say which family member is the founder. Note that pictures are not exported. Of course, this would be a new family tree, and would not be updated when the original is updated.
