cant add maiden name.

Debra Burleson Darrah

I am trying to add my maiden name on the family tree I created. It shows up everywhere in my account but not on tree. How do I correct that?

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.

I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

Just in passing ...

Your "Maiden" Name, SHOULD be recorded (and, appear), in the "Vitals" Section, under the "Name" Field.

Whereas, you "Married" Name, should be recorded (and, appear), in the "Other Information" Section, under (ie. as an) "Alternate Name".

Just my thoughts.

I hope, that this may help/assist somewhat.

Furthermore ...

Here is a "Knowledge Article", in 'FamilySearch':

How should I enter names in Family Tree?

Where it states, among other things:

Quote

------------------

Enter the correct version of the name in the Vitals section

In the Vitals section, enter the person’s birth name or complete legal name.

Maiden and married names—If a woman changed her surname after marriage, use her maiden name.

I hope, that this may also help/assist somewhat.
