I would hyphen the Birth surname and the adopted name: such as
PRATT- SNYDER Pratt being the birrth line and Snyder being the adpted
line. The double Captial surname would signal you what there was a
adoption.
I actually have several people that have been adopted and find it easy
to interupt in this way.

Bill,
After your email, I received some info on a woman who I need to add to
my tree. She told me her birth name, but said it wasn't her maiden
name, because she had been adopted. How would you fit that scenario
into your outline?
Susan
p.s. Just as an FYI - I always list a woman by her given name and
birth surname, and use the AKAs for each individual change of name she
went through. You don't see all names together at once, in my
iterations (unless you pull up the AKA list).

In the past this topic has come up several times. And although What I
say may not work for many I 'm going to throw my idea out. I always
place the maiden name of a woman in the SURNAME spot. I then place her
married name into Title Suf. My preference is set: having the
Surname in all capitals letters. So the name of a woman would look like
this
Iva Beatrice PRATT Daniels indicating maiden name and secondly
married name
There are always situations that you need to bend the rules: So what I
do when I know the woman was married before. I place ( the married
name inside the brackets) (Keplinger) This bracketed name is placed
within the first name data entry.
Iva Beatrice (Keplinger) PRATT Daniels
her married name is Daniels
her maiden name is PRATT
her previous married name was Keplinger.
For example of multi marriages would be my grandmother:
Iva Beatrice (Keplinger) (Robertson) (Ruthrford) PRATT Daniels
Her maiden name is Pratt, (because its capitalized and she was married
4 times.
i thought I throw the idea into genealogy space.
