I picked this idea up from someone else, but it works great: When the wife's maiden name is unknown I enter: Given name - Elizabeth Surname - Daniel** Then enter in the suffix field [[w/o John Daniel]] The name list prints the Daniel** at the end of the Daniel surnames like this: Daniel**, Elizabeth [[w/o John Daniel]]
Anything in the [[ ]] brackets does not print on reports. The two ** after the surname lets me know that the maiden name is not known. This method also works for the husband if you only know the surname. i.e. Unknown Daniel [[h/o Elizabeth Jones]] Hope I didn't confuse anyone, Joanna -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Star Sent: Sunday, November 21, 2004 5:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG]Maiden Name? I don't know if this would be more confusing to you all but for me it works I had about 20 or so Elizabeths and many others with first names but no known maiden name so I finally decide to solve it by this routine. I enter in the surname space the name of the persons married name followed by (unk maiden name) so for Mrs Elizabeth Jones it would be Jones (unk maiden name). As I said it works for me and is clear that it isn't her maiden name. Just an idea.
