GGM Mary Hinton married Joseph Brown.
In Legacy I entered Wife's name as Mary Hinton.
Joseph died five years later.
Marriage #2 was to George Miller.
I entered Wife's name as Mary Hinton Brown.
Problem: When I do the above, Legacy automatically changes her (Wife's)
name to Mary Hinton Brown - which is wrong and not as I entered.
So my question is "how can I keep her name the same as I enter it
without Legacy changing it?"
Where are you entering the wife's name that Legacy is changing? I don't
understand why you are having to enter the woman's name twice.
When you add a wife to a man and she is not already in your database you
create a new individual using her maiden surname - Mary Hinton.
You don't need to enter her again when she re-marries, you just link her
to the second husband but she still has the same maiden name.
I don't use the facility to show married surnames in lists, but I am
sure Legacy creates them by using the woman's forenames and the
husband's surname. I don't think there is any way it will retain a
previous married surname if she marries again.
