This brings up another issue with Legacy. I NEVER use their aka names box because then you get that weird sentence "Another name for Johanna Maria is Anna." I'd enter the name as Johanna Maria 'Anna' Schampers and then I can also see it immediately in Family View and the name index without looking at Notes.

Perhaps the "Johanna Maria" info. came from official sources, and the "Anna" info. from a family member who would know her aka. To be sure, one would have to verify the birth and death of Johanna, and make a full (unsuccessful) search for Anna. However, you cannot expect Legacy to report them as potential duplicates unless you untick the option to "Compare Given Names".

WHY can't Legacy show me simple easy potential duplicates like this: Johanna Maria Schampers born 2/8/1884 died 12/23/1974 Anna Schampers born 2/8/1884 died 12/23/1974 The surname AND birth and death dates are exactly the same, yet this potential duplicate does not show in my duplicate search ???? This is one area Legacy gets an F in my book.
