My cousin Marvin Welborn contacted Itawamba County, Mississippi and procured a copy of the Marriage License and Certificate of Marriage for William Allen and Matilda Caroline Norwood. Marvin, Bill Haloupek (another cousin) an I all had previously believed that Matilda's LNAB was Reagan. This has been a mistake that has propagated across the internet for years. We now have her Marriage License that clearly states her LNAB is Norwood. I would like to correct this in her profile. I have read "Help:Correcting a Last Name at Birth" and it is my understanding that there are two ways to do this. The first is to simply edit the LNAB and save it. The second is a little more involved; Save the Biography (with corrections to the LNAB) then create a new Profile with the correct LNAB and copy and paste the corrected biography. I have a question about the second method... will it leave a Profile dangling out there with no family tree connected? Is this a good idea? I am open to suggestions.
