I am the founder of the family tree, but I put in my siblings name first. That became the founder name. How do I change that?

 

Thank you so much

You have two options.

  1. You download the tree and reupload it Making sure that when asked to choose yourself to choose your name
    the problems with this meathod are that the edit history of the tree is lost on the reunploaed version and you're going to need reshare the tree with anyone you shared it with previously.
     
  2. You edited the founder node to contain all your information and the node you set to represent you to contain your sibling's information.
    The problem with this method is that depending on how detailed the information is it could prove to be a rather tedious task.

Those are the two options that could to mind so pick your poision.
