For as long as I remember my natural mother told me my real dads name was John Kerr but since she passed away in January whilst at the funeral I got told the truth by my relatives that it was him it was apparently a guy she met n the train to Blackpool but told everyone it was the same dad as my older brother. all I know is his name is Bill Munro but can't seem to change it on the tree. Can anyone help me please? Yours hopefully, Mo

	I think you go to My Relations on the options on the left of your screen then scroll till you find his name ,click on the View or Edit box , you should then be able to change his name

	If you have your brother on your tree, you'll want both fathers, presumably. Click on your mother's name, and then click on Add Partner and enter your father's name. Then click on your name, click on the Parents tab, and change your parents to your mother and Bill. That'll leave your brother with John as his father, and you with Bill.
