Hi David, You can't link the AKA to an Event. I'd add a change of surname event to every relevant person using the Date field for the possible date range for the change. You could use the Description field for the surnames eg Grimason to Grimshaw. Have a sentence like "[His/Her] surname changed [fromDesc] [onDate]." [onDate] and handle a between date.
If you want to experiment, remember you can use the Sample file.
