[LegacyUG] Question about online "Sources" and marriage, divorce, remarriage for last names
How should I deal with information that looks to corroborate 99% of the info I have on an individual or family found on sites like Genealogy Trails, Tennessee Genealogical Society (TNGS) and others . They say they only transcribing genealogical and historical data and occasionally there are references to books and other substantiating sources. How do I deal with folks names for marriage, divorce and remarriage. I have several women who married, took the 1st husband's name then sometime later remarried taking the 2nd husband's name. Did not change it after death or divorce of their husband's. I input this into legacy but it converts the women's last name to her maiden name in the second marriage. Now this presents questions when a marriage certificate for the 2nd marriage does not show her 1st husband's name as matching. I guess this leads to another possibility. How to deal with women who maintain the maiden name thru, 1 , 2, or more marriages. My great grandmothers maiden name was Henninger but all her life and 2 marriages and 3 children used Heneger as her last name. So far, in Legacy I have been using Heneger for her name but questions have already come up by others who seen it. For myself I just know the story but how would anyone else? On top of that her name Trula (and variations) of Heneger, Henenger, Hamilton, etc on various documents. Makes it fun but then she was a hoot up until her death at 96.

[LegacyUG] Thanks Ward
Ward, Thanks for the info. The amount of mail showing up is amazing and I will figure w away to deal with it. Does this method of users group not impact Internet Provider traffic? I noticed questions on another topic that applied to me. Kid born in one place and then taken to another. My dad was in the NAVY, we traveled a lot. While stationed in Virginia so he could work in Washington DC I was born at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland and taken "home" to Virginia days later. When I enter the birth event I used the Virginia as location and the hospital as the address of the event. Lots of questions to ask. I guess I'll just make a master list and toss a few out from time to time.

There is a search function for the archived e-mails, so you can look for topics that have previously been asked and answered. Of course, ask again here if the search results do not quite hit the mark. The volume of e-mail is best managed by using your mail client to automatically filter them into a separate folder. The Facebook group appears to be helping the many newcomers a lot, due to the ability to use pictures. I find the mail list easier for quickly browsing through the e-mails/postings. First of all, the FB users seem to be unwilling to start each new post with a subject/topic line. The mail list has subject lines. Sometimes these are not used correctly (hijacked threads, non-specific subjects), but often they are. Secondly, on FB the latest additions to a topic are buried in the comments.

As soon as I signed up I started getting all kinds user group email. Is this the norm. Am I doing something wrong? I was originally looking for an on line forum ( many software companies have them) so I would not swamp the legacy folks with question that probably have already been answered. I don’t use and have avoided FaceBook as a matter of habit. Don’t use a smart phone( someday maybe) so don’t know if Facebook Legacy User group can be accessed any other way or if it would justify doing so. I’m open to any suggestions. I have many questions I know are already asked and answered. But where and how is the best way to ask for myself? Thanks in advance.
