Member Since: February 2010 Posts: 2 Send Message	So I've been researching my family tree and have noticed that my own name is mis-spelled on the birth records, although it's spelt correctly on my birth certificate. It's obviously a typo as it says Eleleanor and my name is Eleanor. I know it's my record because of my mother's maiden name etc. Do I need to get this corrected? If so how would I go about it? Many thanks :)
