    I entered the wrong name on the spouses. I failed to enter the spouse's maid name and gave them their married name, that is the name of their husbands. Simply put " How do I change those last names? Got the Family tree all screwed up

    @Charles178, go to that person's profile details page. In the Vitals Section click EDIT or the Pencil Icon (whichever one is showing) next to Name. Then type in the Correct Maiden name in the Last Names box and click the Blue SAVE button.
