	Hi, Please be carefull, I am in the same boat, I put the name that is on my birth Certificate to start my tree, then added my Adoption name.---- On my tree I am now my own Twin Sister and to make matters worse it can not be taken of the tree, nor can anyone else take it off. It has become a pain in the ' you know where' Regards Sheila
