How do I delete "Unknown" for a person's name at birth?

I'm trying to edit a profile that reads "Fannie Belle Martha (Unknown) Hadlock." Someone apparent thought that her maiden name was unknown, as her husband's last name was Hadlock. However, she was a first cousin from another Hadlock family, so her maiden name was indeed Hadlock. I can't see how to clean this up. It may come up as I look at other profiles, so this is a generic question.

You need to be either a Profile Manager or on the Trusted List first. Then when you edit the profile there is an [edit] link next to the Last Name At Birth field that would let you change the name.

If there is a current manager, you can ask them as well.

Be aware that, once the LNAB has been changed to Hadlock, the system doesn't show it if it is the same as the married name.  So her profile will read "Fannie Belle Martha Hadlock".
