Surnames in brackets isn't all that confusing. I'm not the only one who does it :) It's less confusing that having a long list of people called UNKNOWN and not knowing with whom they are associated without going into their record. I don't use tagging. I can't see the point of it TBH. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).

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 the previous marriage and make sure you check the Husband list and put them in the right order using the arrow keys. If you don't know the previous husband's name, you at least usually know his surname. I show the name used at the time of the marriage in the source for the marriage. You could also add a Marriage Note saying she was a widow or divorcee at the time of the marriage. OR you are going to have to break the standards and enter with the married surname and use the Title Suffix field to add the maiden name- eg "nee Huffman" or "formerly Davies nee Huffman" Whatever you do it has to be clear to someone else. Just adding other surnames in brackets or just tagged on to the Given Names is confusing. Cathy gerald wrote: > > When I enter the names, I use the maiden name.

RE: [LegacyUG] Using Married Names
It becomes quite complicated to program if a woman has married several times. Gretchen (Jones) Rogers works, but when she's on her second or third husband, as many were even in medieval times and early centuries in the US. Gretchen (Jones) Rogers, Harris, Tweed?

RE: [LegacyUG] Using Married Names
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 married name to the AKA field unless you have a source for it. Each person only has one Individual Information page.
