I do ONLY if I see that name in a record. I don’t record the married name under the AKA just because she got married. For example, using the names you used… If I pull Mary’ death certificate and her name is Mary Ann Brown on there then it goes in as an AKA. If on one the census records she is listed as M. Brown there is another AKA. If I see her name as Mrs. Charlie Brown there is another AKA.

I see they include clerk errors as an alternate names/AKA's (ie. John Doe recorded as John Done by clerk error, so "John Done" is recorded as an AKA). For people who do this, do you also record the married names under AKA's? (i.e. Mary Smith marries Charlie Brown, so do you record "Mary Brown" under the AKA)? I understand the reason for having all these variations 1. reminds you of all the variations when searching for new information; 2. allows a more indepth computer/internet search when searching the web for information.
