I took my birth name back a few years ago,
so I too created an 'event' entitled 'Name Change',
as that is what is is, an event in a persons life and
it can be followed up on through court papers so in
essence there is a paper trail for future generations
to follow.
Hope This Helps,

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Name change
Hi Tracy
When our daughter remarried, she had the surnames of the children of the
first marriage changed by deed poll to the surname of her second marriage
so I've entered the kids under their new surname with an entry in Events
detailing what their former name was and when it was changed and what it
was changed to. What also helps was the fact that she left their former
surname as one of their middle names. I've also added it to AKA's
(Alternate Names). I guess you could put it into General Notes if you
didn't want it in Events. I suppose I should of left them entered by their
first surname but as she's had another child in her second marriage, I
wanted to see the kids listed in that marriage all with the same surname
(by switching on the Show ½ Kids ) as the first marriage didn't end
well.......sour grapes and all that :-D

Hi Everyone
I've got several people in my files, including myself, who have
changed surnames (not referring to marriage name changes). A couple
through deed poll and several because they are using a stepfather or
mother's last name rather than birth name. I've listed most as birth
surname/current surname eg LANE/LANE-HUDSON and put each surname as an
AKA. What do others do with this situation?
Cheers
Tracy
