Hello everyone, I'd like to know how others would handle this type of AKA entering. My cousin has been known by the name of Clara all of her life and this is the name that appears on all documents (marriage, school, SS index, will, etc.) except her birth record. Her birth record gives her name as Concettina. There is no formal change of name recorded in the court system. I know this information to be factual as I knew this individual myself and we discussed this issue as it relates to the genealogy file in our family tree.
I have kept to the practice of entering the name that appears on the person's birth record in their individual record. All other names have been entered in the AKA file. In this case, I am wondering if I should make an exception for the sake of clarity when printing out the family tree, or if some sort of note should be make (what/where?) Any thoughts on this?
