Q. Is it possible to change my user code for WorldConnect?

A. Because the WorldConnect user code is a part of the URL (address) of your WorldConnect account, the only way to change it is to upload a new GEDCOM using a new user code and password. You may use the old password or select a new one.

Once this is accomplished, you will want to remove the original (duplicate) account by going to the set-up page at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igmuser.cgi, entering the user code and password of the original account, and clicking on the Standard button. Scroll to the bottom of the Standard set-up page and click on the "remove account" button to delete the duplicate (original) account.
