Just signed up--why did my user name change?
I just created a FamilySearch account yesterday, and then posted a question, which has already been answered. Thanks so much!
But I noticed that the user name associated with my new account isn't what I chose but was changed to Sherry 471. I'm just wondering why. I'm 79 years old, and JustOldSherry suits me fine and is a bit less bland.

Thank you CJTobler.
When I click on my name/picture up on the right, next to the email icon, I get these choices: Edit Profile, Bookmarks, Drafts, My Discussions, and Sign Out. I'm sure it's probably right under my nose, but I don't see "Settings" or a pencil icon. If I open Edit Profile, I do see where it looks like I should be able to change the name and/or email address. However it's not active--in that it won't let me type in those fields. Nothing happens. I was able to change the profile picture.
I wonder if it's my browser. I use Firefox; is that a problem?
