Re: [LegacyUG] Using Married Names

[gerald]

When I enter the names, I use the maiden name. It can be a bit perplexing when entering a female that has been maried before -- which name do I use? Should I use the name she had when she was married into our family, with a note about a previous marriage?

 

On a similar vein, and I have asked this before, but got no answer. When producing a calendar report for birthdays for a month, I have the option for females with maiden name OR married name, but not both. I often need both names, since it helps identifying who a person is, and how she fits into our family (descendant or in-law). But I have to produce two reports, and then manually produce a separate document including both names. Is there an easier way to do this? How can I produce a report with both the maiden AND the married name?

I only add them under their maiden name.

How do you want to enter them? Maiden name or married name/s?
