I would have them in my database as the sex they were born. I would put the name change and the sex change as an event or in the notes.
michele From: Nannette Fretwell Sent: Friday, July 15, 2011 11:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] How do you record someone that has gone through a change... i.e. from male to female? I know this is very different, but I do have a relative that did exactly that! Also, how to record a person that has "legally" changed their name? For instance, being born a Smith and then legally changing their name to Jones (not a name change through marriage). Sometimes, my ancestors are so frustrating!!!!
