What are the last names of the children's children? Let's say you are
Roberto Gomez and your wife is Maria Sanchez. The last name of your
children would be Gomez-Sanchez. What would their children's last names be?
There could be some very long names eventually!

Subject: [LegacyUG] Married Names
Just an anecdote from Spain: Spanish women keep their maiden name all
their lives and do not use their husbands' names. Our mailbox in
Madrid -as our bank account- lists my full name and my wife's full maiden
name. My wife's Spanish passport does not contain her married name, nor
does any single document relating to her. As a result, our children's
surnames contain both our names, with mine first and my wife's second
(it's the reverse in Portugal). Naturally, Legacy assumes that the last
surname is the one that counts, but it doesn't: it's the first one, the
husband's, that is passed on. Of course, there's no problem in correcting
this on the family file, and so on with every succeeding generation.
