I agree it would be nice to have the option for each individual - or rather
for each AKA.  For searching purposes I like to make a married name AKA for
all women, but I don't really want that to print as "Another name for ....."
But in instances where there has been an actual name change, such as by Deed
Poll, or where someone was routinely known by a nickname, I would like
reports to read "Another name for ..." - although come to think of it, I'd
really prefer " ..... was also known as ....".  As it is now, we have to
have all AKAs printing, or none.

Cheers,
Jan

I record name errors in the source references. The person was never "Also
Known As". Examples for my grandfather whose name was Samuel.

Sam - AKA
Samul - Misspelled by census taker
Sone - As recorded by Ancestry due to very poor census taker's handwriting

The only time I need the last two, is when someone goes back looking for the
source.
