I entered an ancestor with her married name but now have her maiden name. How do I change the surname without deleting all the information I have entered? The wrong one is 9J82-8XV

    In your tree, click that person, click Person (you will see two options, "Person" and "Family Tree"), then under Details —→ Vitals, click on the pencil button on the top right next to Name and you'll be able to edit both the Given and Sur names.
