Christine and Mandy - thank you very much! I do understand what you were saying, now I've just got to decide which area I'm from, where I was born or where I live or change it like William. Thanks a lot xx

Susan, I know this one cos I'm fairly new and asked it myself last week!!!! If you go into Edit/View details, you put your first name and the surname that you were born with, then in the box for what your surname is now, you put the rest of the name of your choice, eg for mine it's: First name : Mandy Surname at birth: ****** (don't want to put it cos adopted) Surname now: from Somerset If you can be bothered, you can change it each time you come on the site. There is someone who does this according to the weather - I think it's William from Liverpool; sometimes he's William from sunny liverpool, sometimes William from wet liverpool, etc. Hope you understand what I'm saying, I do tend to go on a bit!

Hi Susan Just go to edit/view details at left hand side of board and change it from there. Don't worry it doesn't change your birth surname or name on tree. Hope that helps
