Spelling correction: Beckstead-185 should be Becksted-185 according to gravestone and multiple census records.

Question

I would like to correct the spelling or Luella Becksted's surname at birth but I don't see how to do it.  According to her gravestone and several census records, her name was spelled Becksted, not Beckstead.  I have added sources to her profile.

Lynda Tracy [Tracy-3659]

Comments

I added a few more sources including her birth record. If you place a comment on her profile, the PM will see it and  correct the spelling.

The new ID will have whatever number is next in the Becksted sequence

eta: should also note that she is linked as sister of her father and daughter of her grandfather.

Thank you for the advice and the additional sources!

Luella's husband Fred was a first cousin to my grandfather... my first cousin twice removed! When I was a child, he lived in the same village and I knew him, a very pleasant, cheerful and kind man. Luella had passed away long before, and Fred was married when I knew him but I don't have any information about his second wife and can't remember her first name.

Answer 1

I believe only the profile manager is able to change the last name at birth. Send him a private message and present your reasons for wanting the change.

Thank you!  I will do that.

I did send a message to the profile manager a month ago and no reply so far.  The spelling is still uncorrected.
