How should I deal with information that looks to corroborate 99% of the info I have on an individual or family found on sites like Genealogy Trails, Tennessee Genealogical Society (TNGS) and others . They say they only transcribing genealogical and historical data and occasionally there are references to books and other substantiating sources.
How do I deal with folks names for marriage, divorce and remarriage. I have several women who married, took the 1st husband's name then sometime later remarried taking the 2nd husband's name. Did not change it after death or divorce of their husband's. I input this into legacy but it converts the women's last name to her maiden name in the second marriage. Now this presents questions when a marriage certificate for the 2nd marriage does not show her 1st husband's name as matching. I guess this leads to another possibility. How to deal with women who maintain the maiden name thru, 1 , 2, or more marriages. My great grandmothers maiden name was Henninger but all her life and 2 marriages and 3 children used Heneger as her last name. So far, in Legacy I have been using Heneger for her name but questions have already come up by others who seen it. For myself I just know the story but how would anyone else? On top of that her name Trula (and variations) of Heneger, Henenger, Hamilton, etc on various documents. Makes it fun but then she was a hoot up until her death at 96. Thanks in advance Curt
