LDS lady has set up her member's FS account for her actual name which is the name of her current second husband. In result at her Family Tree she is connected to her parents and to her two husbands with the same current married name.

Should she have created her member's account in her maiden name ? If so, would FS correctly identify her membership as she had became LDS under the name of her current husband not long ago and had her member's number assigned to that same name.

If she needs to change her account's name to maiden name how it needs to be done ?.

Thanks very much,

PrymPM

    @PrymPM - Welcome to FamilySearch Community and asking your question about an account. It is fine to have the account in her married name. It is normally the name on the membership record which appears to be the case here. However, the name on her person page in Family Search can be edited to reflect her maiden name which is again what is normally done. Her person page defaulted to the account name. Just go to the person page and edit the name. Hope this helps.

    Thank you very much for your explanation 😊. I will get back to tell about the change as soon as she I and meet at the local FS Center to do it. Did not think defaulted name could be changed so simply because it refers to a Living person and an individual membership number.

    Kind regards,
