CAUTION If you decide to change your board name it is better if you also change your tree name to the same thing, for the duration of your time on the boards. It might be an idea to change your year and place of birth as well. You can change it back later when you leave the boards. If you don't, someone who might click on your board name to send you a private mesage will be able to see your real surname. This will make it easier for them to find people in the GR database who are on your tree.

Also.....try to make sure that nobody else has your new name (don't ask me how though!) I changed but have just noticed somebody else on the general board had the exact same name! Changed back till I can think of a better one. Jen
