How do I get the "surname" box to pop up when reviewing a name?

    @Beverly Rothman, it is a little unclear what you are meaning that you are wondering how to get the surname box to pop up. When you are doing Name Review, If you are working in the app, if you move the screen, then the box will disappear. In the lower left corner you will see an icon that looks like a paper. Click on that and the box will appear again.

    If I am misunderstanding, please let me know with maybe a screenshot of the issue next time. Thank you so much!

    See Above: FamilySearch assumes William E.'s surname is Greenlaw but it is not. How do I get the surname box on my screen to fix this. All I can fix is the given name if it is incorrect. THANKS

    @Beverly Rothman, you just verify or correct what is in blue, which is the given name. If the surname box didn't pop up, then it will be taken care of in the Family Review. We just do the best we can. Thank you so much for reaching out.

    @AndLinda Hi! What should I click then when it shows a surname as given name (or the other way around)?

    Ex.: Braga is surname, but it's showing in the given name box.
