Legacy will choose the surname of the father that is on screen when you try to add children so you have two choices:

1. Add an Alternate Name of the name he changed to then swap that alternate name with the main name so he appears in the family view with his mother's surname. Now the children will pick up that surname as you add them.

2. Manually change the surname of the children as you enter them.

Hello Group,
Today I came across a distant cousin that legally changed his surname to his mother's maiden name. After that time he married and had children. How do I input this info so his children have the legal surname?
Thanks,
Myrna
