Torrey Marriages before 1700 reports her name as Hope _______.
Changes to the software have left me confused, I was trying to see what might be involved in the edit and I unintentionally removed the profile altogether.
PS Is there a preferred Method and enough information for ... Change Last Name at Birth to Fish, or can Spouse as Hope Borden be removed?
