Trivia, but perhaps useful to others?
Something I should have checked / aware of ā€“ discovered only recently:
I have a person Thomas DOUGLAS. At some time in his life in the 1800s, it was 
recorded as DOUGLASS (double-S). That may have been the family-accepted 
spelling forever, Iā€™m not sure.

But I had been entering the AKA in an incomplete way ā€“ eg, for this person, I 
may have recorded an AKA as Tom (no surname in the addition), or as DOUGLASS 
(no given names entered).
When displaying  Index view (I use Family and Index consistently)  I was 
surprised not to see his AKA name in full, in the Index view (Options set to 
display it).

So, I saw ~DOUGLASS,   without his given name.  Or Tom (no surname at all). Not 
so useful.
