Misspelled family name

Post by RobLacy82 »

Hello, so when I got baptized they spelled my wife's name wrong. So eventually when my wife was baptized they have her as other in my family and have the wrong spelling as my wife.

My ward clerks tried to change it several times and while they have it set right it never changes any help would be appreciated

The clerk will need to call support. For some reason, there's an issue with spouse converts that creates a problem in linking correctly - even if the name is spelled right.

He'd also the one who could correct any spelling issues.
