Profile Accuracy Issue - Help Please

Question

I have a family member who has a natural father with last name "A".  However all of his life he went by his step father's last name "B".  My question is how do I accurately reflect this?

All of this persons decendants use last name "B".  I don't want them upset at finding this not correctly recognized on Wikitree.  I can only imagine how I would feel.

 

PS I have verified the info so I know I have the correct people.

Hi Tim, thanks for your message.  Use the "A" as his last name at birth.  That is the name he was born with.  Then in the Current last name, put the "B" name.  You might want to make notes in the bio section to reflect this information.  I hope this helps.
