I have a great grandfather named Marcelo Dogelio and his spouse is Raymunda Dinero and I check the original document in the hints, his name is "Dogelio", not Dagelio. And they have the same spouse. How can I edit the surname in the picture above?

    Hello @Mia Faye Dariagan

    Thank you for using the community and asking your question here. First go to the question mark with the circle around it in the top right corner of the page.

    Then select "help center." Then type in key words "correcting records." There will be several articles, but this is the one you should select: How do I correct indexing errors in historical records?

    There are many records that this information does not apply for, as yet. You are encouraged to attach the record to your tree and then add remarks about the correct spelling in the notes section at FamilySearch.
