Re: [LegacyUG] Using Married Names

Hi Gerald, For a Calendar list, if you want both, you are going to have to keep doing what you are now OR see below. For other reports, if you've entered an AKA for the married name, both will show if you choose to include the AKAs. The standard is to always enter with the maiden name. Also add th

Re: [LegacyUG] Using Married Names

When I enter the names, I use the maiden name. It can be a bit perplexing when entering a female that has been maried before -- which name do I use? Should I use the name she had when she was married into our family, with a note about a previous marriage?   On a similar vein, and I have asked th

Then why not just add Given name = UnknownM Surname = Unknown Given name = UnknownF Surname = Unknown When you dont have the information? This also helps to eliminate errors between data transfers when these fields are 'expecting" data. On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 11:00 AM, Charani wrote: >

Always use the maiden names for ALL females. If you do NOT know the maiden name then use something that tells you that you are missing the maiden and, so you can always search for it later. I never even use the “Display married name”, this way I continue to see that I have more work to do in

Priscilla, You enter females using their maiden name. If you select the option to “include married names” on the Name List, you will see them under both names. If you see her name on a document with her married name then you can add it as an AKA. You shouldn’t arbitrarily add someone’s marri

GMail users should know that they will not see their messages appear in their own inbox because GMail 'holds back' displaying of your own emails. This is a standard GMail process for any "List" type mailing group and not anything to do with how Legacy handles their List email settings. Just an FYI

Leon, This is NOT a bug. It's just 'leftover' data in most cases. There are many ways these 'ghost' marriages are created and they stay in Legacy until you delete them. Why, because Legacy knows it isnt as smart as you are, and never assumes that just because you are removing a spouse or child fr
