I misspelled an entire branch of my family trees last name, should be Landsdale not lansdale.

Question

How do I correct a large number of mistakes?

I believe it will be a long process. Will leave the question open but do not foresee easy answer.

Looked at the profiles there might be duplicates, that could be merged. If so the merge could be done and change the name at the same time.

Sorry David, looks like the only way is the hard way. Merges probably will not work unless there was a name change along the way and the lines do not look the same.

If your not sure how the name change works contact me or see:

Michael is right. You can't do bulk edits on WikiTree. And the Last Name at Birth is an especially important edit since they are used for WikiTree IDs. When the names are changed the profiles will redirect from Lansdale-X to Landsdale-Y.
