Jane, I've been mulling this over, trying to figure out why all of these married names have been assigned to the Legacy AKA field.
I remember TMG had an option to also display and print the married name in reports. I'm wondering if TMG places the married name in a field in the gedcom that Legacy reads/ interprets as an AKA when it imports the data. Maybe that's why each of your married females (if this is, indeed, the case) reads like this in your reports. If all of your married ladies do have an entered AKA and you don't want them, you could do a search and tag everyone on a particular tag, then work your way through the list, removing the AKA's. If they're tagged, you wouldn't have to do them all at once. Work on it a while, then return at a later date, until you get them all removed. I'm sorry you've run into this glitch.
