Not sure if this is the best way, but a possibility is to use tagging.
Go to the person whose ancestors you want to find the surnames of

Select Tag and “ancestors” and a tag number – if you’re not sure who is tagged
then
This is a fairly common problem. Send an email to supp...@legacyfamilytree.com

It sounds as though you have two separate marriages for that daughter - one
having 2 children and the other having the second two. You will need to unlink
the last two children from the spurious marriage and link them to the correct
one - then deal with getting rid of the second marriage
