Hi Tracy
When our daughter remarried, she had the surnames of the children of the
first marriage changed by deed poll to the surname of her second
marriage so I've entered the kids under their new surname with an entry
in Events detailing what their former name was and when it was changed
and what it was changed to. What also helps was the fact that she left
their former surname as one of their middle names. I've also added it
to AKA's (Alternate Names). I guess you could put it into General Notes
if you didn't want it in Events.
I suppose I should of left them entered by their first surname but as
she's had another child in her second marriage, I wanted to see the kids
listed in that marriage all with the same surname (by switching on the
Show ½ Kids ) as the first marriage didn't end well.......sour grapes
and all that :-D

Hi Everyone
I've got several people in my files, including myself, who have
changed surnames (not referring to marriage name changes). A couple
through deed poll and several because they are using a stepfather or
mother's last name rather than birth name. I've listed most as birth
surname/current surname eg LANE/LANE-HUDSON and put each surname as an
AKA. What do others do with this situation?
Cheers
Tracy
