Cathy, Thanks
There doesn’t seem to be any way around this at present. I have followed the instructions from the Legacy help file which is quite good and provides a part solution. But you should be able to go to either the birth family file or the adoptees family file and see both entries as they have changed, Obviously there will be notes as well for explanation.

When children are adopted as babes, some use the adopted name as the main name but still have an AKA (in this case for the birth name) and the notes or event to make sure it is clear. There may be better ways to handle this and if you can think of how, send in a suggestion. See the Legacy Home tab or the Help Ribbon tab for the link to do this. Cathy Allan Rudge wrote: I have and adoption to enter into legacy. I know the birth mother but not the father. I know the adoptees parents. Have entered both sets of parents into legacy. However, the child s middle name and family name was changed when he was adopted out. Legacy doesn’t seem t o handle the change of name from the birth name to the adopted name. How can I resolve this other than by starting another line from the adoptees parents. Regards
