Sorry to be pedantic Ron, but that is the whole point of my original post. I have a number of women for whom I did add married name AKAs as I went. But I have many others that only have their birth name. In the Index View, with numerous spouses showing across the columns, I can clearly see whether I have added a married name AKA for any particular woman. If, as I scroll through, I find a woman with only one entry but who has one or more husbands listed in the next column(s) I know that I have to create a married name AKA, which I can do by accessing the Individual information screen directly from the Index View. One has to sort by RIN first, so that the names are listed in RIN order rather than alphabetically – that way I can see all instances of, for example RIN 10 e.g. 10 SMITH, Mary Jane 10 ~ BROWN, Mary Jane (Mrs) (because I always add the prefix Mrs for married names) 10 ~ JONES, Mary Jane (Mrs) (if she happens to have more than one husband)
If I haven’t yet entered a married name AKA I will see: 10 SMITH, Mary Jane 11 WHITE, George Whosiwhatsit etc. etc. Cheers, Jan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ronald ferguson Sent: Tuesday, 12 February 2008 10:19:PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Automatically create AKA for married women Jan, Certainly you can, and whilst I do not have mine permanently set to show AKAs I do use it from time to time. That is not my point which is: If one has never set the AKAs to include a woman's married name then the AKAs in the index list will show nothing. When one has a large number to enter it is very easy to just enter the name that's on family view and to forget to check how many husbands there have been.
