I started by leaving it blank and then ended up with a collection of forenames at the front of my index. So I now go with the married surname and a title suffix of spouse. These have the advantage of showing in the index in a more appropriate place and also it is easy to produce a list by searching for suffix "spouse" On 06/01/2014 09:21, Jay 1FamilyTree wrote: > SNIP > And everyone PLEASE stop putting a womans married name in the surname >box. her surname is/was her maiden name..... > When gedcoms are passed on or info taken from a source that has done >that I diligently verify it only to find 98% are in fact having their >married name entered in the surname box. >SNIP Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
