One thing I did not see mentioned is that in the "Name" list of people in your data, you can select the option to use the husband's surname as a second entry for the wife. Then you can find the wife with her "married" name. I keep that option set most of the time. I remember many people by their given name but not by their surname or married name, so I use the given name fairly often to find people in my data. Having the married name for wives is a big help.
I do not see any need to have "Jane Doe as an AKA". Jay ==================== On 2/24/2014 6:05 AM, Michele/Support wrote: > > Susan, > > I simply leave the surname blank.
