Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 19 Send Message	Hi All, Can someone please advise how I record the name change of children after a divorce in my FTM. I have records of all births showing Father's surname. Parents divorced and Mother remarried. Children took new husband's surname. Marriage records show "new" surname. Thanks JulzinOz

	Julia If you use the help button on FTM and type in adoption in the search box....I'm using 2006 but I am sure it will be the sam for other versions. It comes up with several topics including how to set up children. Too complicated to type out here! Chris
