I customize the family view with AKA1 (1st alternate name) and AKA2 (2nd alternate name), then I list all the different Given names and spellings in AKA1 separating each with a space. (Heinrich Henry)I do the same for Surnames in AKA2. (Ladendorff Landenderf) That way I can easily see all the name variations used by the husband/wife on the family view. It works for me. Add sources to the Name as usual bolding the variation on the source detail.
