    Hello @Marson Jay V. Madera

    After you change your contributor name, it can take up to 48 hours for the name change to reflect throughout all of your contributions.

    This knowledge article - https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/update-your-familysearch-profile indicates up to 24 hours, but I have experienced longer.

    "Your old contact ID appears on FamilySearch for up to 24 hours after you change it. If other users follow records that you have modified, your old contact ID still appears until the system completely updates."


    All the best.
