OK. Sorry about the interruption – back to my major uncertainty.
My initial question was in anticipation of creating a new profile for the spouse - of an individual whose profile I’d already created.
I was aware of a similar (and basically the same person’s) detail in an existing profile but both the LNAB & FNAB were different, as to spelling, e.g. existing (but as yet without a spouse) “Catherine MacDonald” – v – proposed “Katherine Macdonald” (to be linked to a pre-existing spouse’s and children’s profiles).
To avoid creating a duplicate & then having to merge both, I first posted a comment to the Profile Manager for ‘Catherine’. She kindly changed the FNAB to 'Katherine' (but not the LNAB) and orphaned the profile (which I then adopted) - after linking it to the spouse & children’s profiles which I’d previously created. So, all good – almost.
The LNAB (MacDonald) for the now corrected FNAB 'Katherine', still does not match the LNAB (Macdonald) as shown in the source reference for Katherine’s birth registration.
Worse still that same source (QLD bdm) also shows LNAB (Macdonald) for Katherine’s father – whereas his LNAB for his birth registration (in the same QLD bdm records) is shown as McDonald – as is his father!
What to do?
Does any of this matter anyway? (IMHO it does)
If so, a similar situation will apply to existing profiles for Katherine’s siblings & their children, etc. as well as for Katherine’s father and his siblings, parents, etc., etc.
Where does it end? Who will make the edits, etc.?
Someone, please help!
