I have a family in our ward whose family name is being displayed properly in the MLS, however, in LDS Tools has the husband's mother's maiden's name being displayed as his and his wife's last name.

I cannot find a number for US Membership to request a correction. Please direct me to the best place.

Thank you -

Most likely it is the "Household" name that is incorrect. It can be fixed in MLS or LCR by a clerk.

Specifically the clerk needs to find the member profile of one of the household members in LCR (using the Member List for instance), click on the Household tab and then click Edit Household Name. The household name doesn't show up in LCR unless you click the edit button.

Thank you. I needed to call HQ and get the update made. It was only on the LDS Tools side and not in the MLS.

I've never heard of a name that only shows up in LDS Tools. It's in MLS and LCR, but not always easy to find.
