I haven't changed her name. There is an optional prefix for everybody in Legacy. I'm suggesting using that. Her given name is not changed, and there is something useful as her surname for index generation. Obviously if you do know her maiden name then that is the right surname for her. If you later discover that her maiden name is, say, BOOTH, then your remove the "Mrs" prefix and change her surname to BOOTH. > I think it is good practice that females are entered in > a genealogical db using their maiden name....... Couldn't agree more... If you can find out what it is. This is not always possible. As the question implies. > On 4/19/06, Chris Squires <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So if Elizabeth married John SMITH then Albert JONES, then she would > > be listed as Mrs Elizabeth SMITH.
