You can probably get an idea from an individual report, which should show all husbands. Or else a new field might be called for, because not all women take their husban's name on marriage, or they may combine it with their faither's name or mother's name, or some other. Actually not just a new field, but a new table, to show which name a person used at various points in their life -- but there is already the AKA facility for such aliases. And you can get those to print on reports, though it doesn't show the dates on which the alias was used. . -- Steve Hayes E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.geocities.com/hayesstw/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
