I have added http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-187662 - his last name is von Punzelman but it won't let me do that. Can someone change it please.

WikiTree profile: Ronald von Punzelman

Dave Dardinger added the surname " von Punzelman" in the "Current Last Name" field. Does the editing of the "Last Name At Birth" field require the Profile Manager,( or trusted member) to perform ? I think so.  WikiTree profile :  Ronald von Punzelman lists you as the profile manager. 

You should see an "edit" option next to the "Last Name At Birth."

? .. 

Yes, I know how to do it. I'm letting Admin know that this isn't working - there is a fault in this.

Ah Yes ... 

Admin and Tech support are needed ..

Well I tried a few things without Success.  One problem (I think) was that the birth date was listed as before 1911 and I think the system somehow thought that meant it could be before 1500 and wouldn't let the (Unknown) last name be changed.  Another problem is that you need to put an underscore between the Von and Punzelman.  but though I tried changing these two things it still wouldn't let me edit the LNAB thinking it needed someone with the before 1500 badge.  Hopefully someone with that badge will come along and make it work.

Have you tried adopting the profile? To change a LNAB, you need to be on the Trusted List.

LOL - it was mine, I couldn't change it, so gave it up in the hope someone else could.
