I'm impressed! Thanks to everyone who answered my post so quickly and
offered great advice.
Elizabeth and others, I understand your caution against using surname in
the master source list. The reason I considered that was due to the training
CD Legacy's Ultimate Guide to Sources, in which Mr. Rasmussen suggests using
reverse locality for naming most of his sources in the master source list (for
sorting purposes) and surnames for others. He just didn't cover maiden names.
Thanks again.
Dave

I am new to this user group and fairly new to genealogy in general, and I
want to start out on the right foot.
I know that women entered into family group records should be entered
under their maiden names. But how do you handle sources, events and such after
their name changes in marriage? Case in point, my mother. Her maiden name was
Shirley Akers. Her name became Shirley Williams when she married. I entered
her on the family group sheet as Akers. But many of the events in her later
life, as well as many of her letters, published articles and e-mails that I
have as sources, are under the name of Williams.
I'm thinking I would cite sources just like anyone else, but put the
master source name under Akers. Any suggestions? I'm a bit confused on this
point.
Thanks in advance for advice. I'm looking forward to learning from this
group.
Dave Williams
