Hi i have two questions, the first one is there anyway to link documents regards name changes as my father was born with one surname that was later changed and i wanted to know if i could reflect this by attaching those documents.

Also i am having trouble where i put in a couple for instance my sister in law and her husband and then i've added her son but he isnt the son of her husband, i cant work out how i show him only linked to her and not both of them

any help is appreciated

Re. the son, you need to add his father as a partner of your sister-in-law then add him as their child.- just put anything in the box if you do not wish to record his father's name.

I think you can only reflect the name change by adding a note, but I might be wrong! Or maybe you could hyphenate the name?
