What I do is go into the marriage record itself, and put whatever I want in wife’s married name. This works well in the case where the wife never takes the husband’s surname (e.g. Québec, Canada), less so is she takes it for a time then reverts to a previous surname.
From: Michele Lewis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: July-13-13 12:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] retention of maiden name Since the woman’s name is recorded under her maiden name anyway I would just make a note in the general notes section stating that she retained her maiden name or I might just put it in the marriage notes section. Michele From: Mary LeClerc [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 13, 2013 2:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] retention of maiden name More and more I have family members that either retain the use of their maiden name when they marry or revert to it's use after a divorce. How are the rest of you indicating this in your family file? An alternate name doesn't quite seem to do it. An event? Thanks for the suggestions.
