"Wyndham Clampett" said: I believe this situation illustrates the need to have an option to get Legacy to automatically generate AKA's for married females. (It should be an "option" as not everyone may want to choose this action).
This won't completely solve the problem but at least it will be possible to find the married females under their married names as well as their maiden name. ...... Lastly, if something is done, it would be nice if the AKA's (etc) could be included in the indexes for reports and web pages.... JOAN SAYS: This would be greatly appreciated. Other AKAs that should be included are adoptees who have one legal name at birth and another after adoption [I have a great uncle who was born Harold Parker, then adopted by his maternal grandparents and became Harold Murden], and persons who changed their names at immigration or legally. For instance, my ancestor John Kirkpatrick changed his last name to Kirk when he came to North America [first Canada, then US]. His ancestors are Kirkpatrick. His descendants are Kirk. It would facilitate finding two-legal-names in the data bank if they were under both legal names, depending on which branch of the family one is working on.
