Hi, My nan changed her surname, I have both surnames and do not know which to put in my tree. At the minute I have her surname as it was when she married and have put her original surname in the alternative box, but what happens when I start tracing her family. I have ordered a certificate but I am a bit confused. Laurie

Laurie, If I were you, I'd add her with her name as it was on her birth certificate. Crista
