Entry 2.8 in the Customise menu gives you the option to have Legacy generate a default married surname (husband's surname) in addition to her maiden surname. From the Options in Name List or Index view you can then choose to show the Married Names in addition to the Maiden Name. If you Search for a woman by her Surname (with or without Forename) and you have the option selected in Name List, the Search result will show the two entries - maiden and surnames. All this, of course, presupposes that you knew and entered the woman's maiden name in the first place! Personally, I do not use the Married Surname option, preferring, for lack of ambiguity, to refer to women always by their maiden names. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
