I have just found out that my Grans brothers wife was married before. I have put her on with her last married name, should it have been her Maiden name? She also had a child by that marriage, how do I do it. I know someone will know the answer to this, so I say thanks to all in advance. Ann

Hi there Ann, If you mean you have entered her onto this site with her married name, I would say yes you should change it to her maiden name...there are no rules as such, but that's the way it is generally done. Helen You should be able to add the child to her and then click on father and create a new father for that child only...just off to check again.
