    I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but my husband's grandfather changed his name by deedpoll just after WW1 from Gerlach to Gilbert.

    How do I record this on the family tree? I'm currently switching between the free ancestry.co.uk and genes Reunited for my tree.

    I know it's clumsy, but I would record his name as

    Gerlach/Gilbert

    and put an explanation in the notes section - name changed by Deed Poll (date).
