Name change: Profile: Marcia L. Snyder (Linberg) not Marcia Linberg

Question

I'm confused.  My Profile name appears  Marcia Linberg.  Linberg is my maiden name and I want my Profile name to appear Marcia L. Snyder (Linberg)  My husband died recently and I'm upset about the way it currently appears for my Profile.  I understand that this occurred because of the way I entered information.  Thank you for your help.

Marcia L. Snyder

Answer 1

Marcia, I'm sorry for your recent loss.  WikiTree has standard ways of displaying names and the closest to what you prefer would be Marcia L. (Linberg) Snyder.  The way to have that is to edit your profile and enter the following in the name fields:

Formal First Name   Marcia
Preferred Name       Marcia
Middle Name            L.
Last Name at Birth    Linberg
Current Last Name   Snyder

I hope this helps.
