How do I change my account name following marriage? My Church records have been updated, but my account here still has my maiden name

.

There are FOUR (x4) DIFFERENT "Names" that we appear as in "FamilySearch" ...

.

Our:

- Full Name

- Username

- Display Name

- Contact Name

.

They all appear in your "Settings" in "FamilySearch".

.

Which of those is not appearing as it should?

.

The ONLY one that you CANNOT change is your "Full Name"; as, that comes from ones Church Membership Record.

.

If your "Full Name" is still showing/displaying your "Maiden" 'Family Name'/'Surname' in "FamilySaerch"; then, have you checked what appears in your Church Account on-line in "churchofjesuschrsit.org" (formerly: LDS.org)?

.

You indicate that your Church Membership Record has been updated to your "Married" 'Family Name'/'Surname'(presumably, by a Ward/Branch Clerk), does that appear in your Church Account on-line in "churchofjesuschrsit.org" (formerly: LDS.org)?.

.

If not; then, I suggest that you contact the "Global Service Centre" of the Church, they should be able to help you - you will need your Church Membership number and be able to identify yourself, for reasons of "Privacy" and "Security".

.

The other "Names" you can change yourself in your "Settings".

.

I hope this helps.

You can change the name that shows in FamilySearch through your settings. This post has instructions on how to do so:

do you mean your name on the account (Dennis Yancey)

or do you mean your account user id (dyancey) - - -I think those are two different things.

Thanks Brett!

I knew you'd have the answer to that one.
