Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
Thanks Ron, I feel a little better about it now. I'll leave the AKAs in, but still use the global change for married names. I don't mind having extra AKAs in my file, although I do use an event for spelling errors in names from research provided by family where they were guessing at spelling etc. Cheers Tracy Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

RE: [Bulk] Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
Jack, It took me a while to work this one out, partly because I could not be sure whether entries I had already made were affecting the results of changing the Default in Customise. They do! But it was only when I started to change the married status of couples that I saw what you are getting at. I now agree that in Family View the Husband/Wife labels do not change to (in my case) Partner/Partner when the "this couple did not marry" flag is turned on and off. Yup, it's a bug!

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
Tracy, No. I also have married names in the old AKA list and intend to continue my practice of including them there. Apart from not wishing to spend the time deleting them there is a serious reason for this. The Marriage Names will not appear in pretty well any of the reports (I exclude Name Reports and similar) and I do wish to have Jane Smith is also known as Jane Jones in my webpages/reports. Should I wish I can also Search using the AKA Surnames and combine this with other searches.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
Hi Tracy, How you handle all the married AKAs you've entered it up to you - but it depends a bit on whether you've also used AKA for real AKAs or just married names. If not, just turn off including AKAs in reports and on name list etc and they'll not bother you and you can delete them at your leisure. If you can use Access, you could remove them from the relevant table. If not, the quickest way is from a search list with the edit tab to the front. Search on Alt.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
Bill, What you are asking is more going to get handled with custom sentences for reports and events. However, an additional married name rule has been requested that would be a variation of the current second married name rule that would include, for wives, her birth name after her given names; eg, Wife Married name : [HerGivenNames] [HerSurname]/[HisSurname]/ eg. If Jane Doe married John Smith, her married name would be changed to Jane Doe Smith by this rule? john.

RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
When viewing the Name list with Married names turned on, I do see that there is (for lack of a better term) a squiggly icon in front of the names generated with the Husband's last name. The person's name is listed as both the Married name and the maiden name as two individuals, both pointing to the same record.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
At the bottom of the MARRIAGE screen is a pull down list. It only includes 2 items: 0-None - don't generate married names 1-Replace wife's surname with husband's surname Only problem is it then brings up a dialogue box asking if you want it to be the default. Since they made it a pull-down (and not just a check box), it would have been nice if they changed it to: 0-None - don't generate married names for this person 1-Replace wife's surname with husband's surname for this person 2-None - don't generate married names for ALL FUTURE people 3-Replace wife's surname with husband's surname for ALL FUTURE people or something like that But that is a VERY minor quibble! You can also totally override the marriage name for either the male and the female on this same screen, just above this pull down list.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
Belinda, I have Legacy 7 and just checked this out for you. From the main tool bar, you can go to Options, Customize, Data Entry. At the bottom of the screen is the global setting for changing the wife's surname, or not changing married names. You can also make this change individually at the Marriage info window. Hope this helps.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
When I installed V7 (on Monday!), it prompted for whether to automatically created the married names for women (can't remember the exact wording). So, that would be a global setting. However, this option appears to be for NEW marriages created. You can apply to all existing marriage from the Options>Customise>Data Entry> "Rule for generating default married names" and clicking Apply. They show up very nicely identified in the Index view when the option "Include married names" is selected. However, I noted it seems to only use the main surname (and not any alternates) of the husband. I didn't see a way to set it at the individual level. For me, this isn't a problem. The dominate cultural practice of my ancestors was to change the woman's surname upon marriage. So, today, even women who keep their birth surname often use both names legally (one socially and one professionally). Even if the woman doesn't choose to use both or only her birth surname, she will still likely receive correspondence in her husband's surname. 2008/6/3 Belinda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I've just finished watching the video online for some of the new features of > Legacy 7 and I love the inclusion of the married names in indexes etc which > is relevant for the vast majority of marriages in my file.

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy 7 - Maiden Names and Married Names
Belinda, Don't worry. Legacy 7 has you covered! You can set a default rule for your data : currently, either no married names or use the traditional anglo-centric married name structure. Then for each relationship, you can override the default rule OR you can change the name of either or BOTH spouses to whatever you need. You will see that the marriage wording fields are more flexible. Just be aware that L7 determines if a couple is married or not by the "This couple did not marry" checkbox, not the marriage status. john.
