My great grandmother's name was "Annie Lou Ware" married name Smith, married to William Russell Smith. She is buried in Oakdale Cemetery in DeLand FL, and the gravestone says "Annie Lou Ware Smith". Her maiden name in the marriage license is Ware, but in familysearch (which I love!) it comes up as Weir.

How can we correct this?

Thank you for everything y'all do!


Best, Anne C. Smith

    Any field that has a "Edit" written beside it can be modified. So just click on the Edit beside her name and you can make the appropriate change. Don't forget to include a reason for the change as well.
