I can certainly ask her that; however, her Patriarch may have have passed away years ago. The woman asking this is 45 and received her blessing over 30 years ago.
Well, this would be an interesting situation. There's a strong likelihood her Patriarchal Blessing is a scanned image of the paperwork submitted 30 years ago, not a computer file. As such, it's not just a matter of correcting text in a computer - the image would have to be modified some way. Digital white-out if you will. This will likely leave noticeable artifacts on the image as the newly inserted text may not match what's on the image. I suppose it could be re-typed, but who is going to sign it? It would be easy enough to fix back then, but quite a bit more difficult now.
Assuming this member has retrieved a copy of the blessing on-line, it is already linked with her membership record. That membership record would be the source of information going forward, so the errors in the blessing are unimportant.
Personally, I'd leave it as a historical document - warts and all. Then again, maybe it is computer text and can be edited.
At this point, I'd suggest calling support and see what they say.
