>From the Help: Married Names
When a couple is married, in most cases one or both of the individuals involved change their names. This is usually the wife but in some case the husband's name will change. If you have a marriage name rule selected in the combo box at the bottom of the Married Names box, Legacy automatically makes the married name changes and displays them in the Husband's married name and Wife's married name fields. If you have selected None - don't generate married names, the fields remain blank. You can change the married name for either the husband or the wife by clicking the Change button to the right of the married name field. Married names can be included in the Name List and on the Index View. They are also used when searching and when generating anniversary calendars. When you select a different married name rule from the combo box, Legacy asks, Do you want this change to be the default for all future marriages that you add?. If you answer Yes, then any marriage you add from then on will generate married names according to that rule - until you change it again. If you answer No, then the rule is only applied to the current marriage You can also set the default married name rule on the Options > Customize > Data Entry tab.

I am assuming that when you choose "No" that this is the only married name that will not be listed. I am certainly hoping that is so!! Also, I think that for any couple, also on the Marriage Information screen, clicking the button "Change" next to Wife's (or Husband's) married name would accomplish the same result. I can change either name to whatever and so could enter the wife's maiden (or any other) name as the married name. Brett's idea was the key to discovery. The list succeeds again!

Thank you!

Cheers, Brett BMcL Robinson, New Zealand ----- Original Message ----- I have several women whose husbands I have made invisible so they are not shown. However, their spouses are still shown with that husband's last name (married names). I NEED to have married names show in my index, search lists, etc. How do I make invisible married names of the spouses of invisible people? If I cannot, many reports, lists, searches, etc. show that married name. I need to have other married names show, just NOT the married name when the spouse is invisible. Extremely distressing because Legacy PDFs are then useless because Legacy doesn't give us the option to edit the PDFs. THAT ability would be MUCH appreciated.
