Yes, thanks - using the suggested method of organising the columns in
Index view, I included Married name Spouse 1 and 2 and 3 which took care
of that - I don't think I've got more than three marriages for anyone!

Elizabeth,
One thing which I have found easy to overlook is to check whether a woman has
multiple marriages: in which case she will have multiple AKAs.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Automatically create AKA for married women
Many thanks - that is much quicker than any other way I could come up with.

Sorry I’m not replying to the thread – but I deleted the message and

Whilst it won’t create married name AKAs automatically I have thought
of a way to make the task a little easier. Go to Index View. Make
sure you have selected to Show AKAs. Sort by RIN (this is important,
because it lists all instances of a particular women together because
they have the same RIN). Scroll down through all names – remembering
that females are shown in one colour, males in another so it makes it
easy to see the females who might need a married AKA. For the women
where I have entered a married name AKA I see the following:
10 SMITH, Mary Jane
10 ~ BROWN, Mary Jane (Mrs)
10 ~ JONES, Mary Jane (Mrs)
When I come across a single entry for a woman it is a simple matter to
check across the columns to see if she has a spouse. If so, but no
AKA it is a simple matter to open up the individual screen for that
women, add the married AKA, return to the Index View by closing the
Individual Information screen and continue the search. Might take a
while, but infinitely quicker than any other way I can think of.
Cheers,
Jan
