Well, since you asked, I will throw in my thoughts. I would not use such a feature, but that does not mean no one will.
If my ancestor, Anyone's Grandma has four AKAs and each one was used in a different time period, this is what I do. Grandma, AKA 1920-1930, "Storyteller Grandma" Grandma, AKA 1925-1950, "Pistol-packing Grandma" Grandma, AKA 1945-1960, "Hatchet Grandma" By incorporating the time frame of the AKA, it sorts out nicely for me. Most of my ancestors have no more than two AKAs, and those that do, I use the above scheme. Fortunately for me, this is rare. Most people for me do not have an AKA. Those that have two, it is easy to tell from notes which AKA was used when. Again, my way is by no means the only way or the best way. It just works for me.

It would be an extremely useful feature and so easy for the programmer to add. The squeaky wheel rule applies, so we will never see it if no more than you and I request it. How about it everybody? La Nell -----Original Message----- Subject: [LegacyUG] AKA Function It would be nice to be able to place the different names chronology as in a timeline form. My grandmother was married 4 times she also had a birth name and a adopted name that's six right there, and she used three different middle names. all nine different names I have citied sources for. An up or down button would help. Does any body agree if this freature was added.
