First post here. This has been an interesting thread. I have a woman whose maiden name I do not know. For the given name I entered Maria (maiden name unknown), and the surname entered was Barbie. Now I'm wondering if I do an internet search through Legacy, will the (maiden name unknown) be the reason I might get zero hits? If so, is there another way that will give better results?
