Hi Doug, Of course, the alternate names will show up. They also show up in the individual record. You can try yourself, go to http://venturas.org/familytree/search.php, and search 'Julieta'. You'll get one hit: my grandmother, which used two names (Julieta da Ascenção and Julieta do Rosário Ventura).
Which program do you use that doesn't allow for name aliases? I know at least Roots Magic does ( http://www.tamurajones.net/RootsMagicAlternateNames.xhtml) João C.
