You need to be the profile manager or on the trusted list in order to change the Last Name At Birth. If it is a duplicate you can initiate a merge.

Also, your Unknown-252525 seems to have been merged into Houck-227, which is a yellow-locked profile.  Is she still a duplicate?

I don't know how the "Lydia unknown" got in there.  I didn't enter it and I don't think they are related in any way.  My Unknown-252525 is still there.  I have initiated a merger, as suggested by the other person who answered my question.
I didn't go via the 'Lydia Unknown' link.  I typed Unknown-252525 into a search box and it redirected to Lydia (Houck) Kinsey, Houck-227.

I think E meant Unknown-252505 rather than Unknown-252525.

How strange! I just typed Unknown-252505 into a search box and also got Houck-227.  But, go to Halbert-716 and look at his daughter Elizabeth (Unknown) Hill.  It says she is Unknown-252505!

OK.  I'm really confused now.  But it's all my fault.  Yes, I  meant Unknown-252505.
