When I first registered, recently, I made the mistake of using my married name instead of my maiden name, thus creating a false persona, I think, and confusing any further work on my family tree. I can't find any way to correct that. Can anyone help me to find a way?

    Don't worry, it's a simple fix. First of all, click on your own name on the tree to take you to your person page with all your information. To the right of your name there's a blue edit link. Click on that to edit your surname. Hope this helps 😊
