I registered my husband's name and did his ancestors - how can I now make me the manager?

When I first went on Wiki tree I started with my husband's ancestors and entered all his family (thus he shows as the profile manager) and his DNA testing for him and I used his name to register so that everything would be attached to him.  I now want to join a project and anticipate corresponding much more with other Wiki members.  I am represented as 'Bob Wood' since that's what I registered as, but I'm really Janet Wood and am wondering if I can somehow change this representation so that people know they are communicating with me and not my husband.

  1. Create an account in your own name.
  2. Go on to the Bob Wood account ( I assume you have the password since you created it), go to the Privacy Tab, and add yourself to the Trusted List.
  3. Back in the Privacy Tab, click add as manager.

You have to send an e-mail to info at wikitree.com.  Explain the situation and they will sort it out for you.
