I do the same thing. I enter the first name only, then the last name
(example: Jane Doe). Then in the AKA box I may have Mary Jane Doe is that
is her complete name and any other names by which she is known as well as a
nickname if she is known by one.

That’s why I always put the full name in the aka field, not only the different
first or last name but also the one that’s the same. Like Tom Douglass I would
also put Thomas Douglass, and Tom Douglas and Thomas Douglass if I want to
cover all versions.

Trivia, but perhaps useful to others?
Something I should have checked / aware of – discovered only recently:
I have a person Thomas DOUGLAS. At some time in his life in the 1800s, it was
recorded as DOUGLASS (double-S). That may have been the family-accepted
spelling forever, I’m not sure.

It works for me using L9.0.0.282 – the latest version.
Check your version under the Legacy Home Tab to make sure you have the above
version.
If not, then update to the latest version.

It is not uncommon for people to have multiple names, quite often as a
nickname or because the family decided to use a different name.

This is a question about how Legacy software uses an individual's AKA entries,
but I need to explain with a preface.
For a year or so I have wondered how to resolve this problem with an ancestor
who changed his given names at some time between 1896 and 1900, when he moved

Thanks for the input everyone!
Jenny, I like the way the reports read using
the Quoted Given Name and will join you
and Virginia in adapting this style for Concettina/Clara. Thanks for
walking me

I am new to the board, so please be gentle if this question has already been
discussed. How do you handle cemeteries with several different names? I
would like to be able to reference that they are indeed the same cemetery
instead of cluttering my event addresses with the same information over and
, but you would have to add
this information for each person who was burried in the cemetery.
I hope this helps,
