Question

How can I delete my personal page while retaining access to my church's page?

Community Answer

Unfortunately, you have to have a Facebook account to create and maintain pages. A partial solution to your problem might be for you to clear your personal account of information and use Facebook for the sole purpose of accessing the church's page.
Question

I want to remove the word widow from my account, how can I do that?

Community Answer

You should be able to do this by going to your page (click on your name at the top) and then selecting "Update Info," then scroll through the options until you get to marital/relationship status.
Question

How do I combine two Facebook accounts?

Community Answer

As far as I know, there is not a way to combine two pages. However, you can download all the pictures off of one and move them to the other. You can also send a message to whomever follows you that you are moving accounts, and that they should un-follow this account and follow the other.
