RE: [LegacyUG] How to retain wife's married name as entered
Ila, At the very bottom of the Marriage Information name under the section Married Names. You show which name you wish to use for a married name for a woman. Some women choose to retain their maiden name after marriage or use a hyphenated name, so this feature allows for that. The woman is always entered in Legacy using her maiden name. Then Legacy by default will show her husband's last name as her married name unless you change it to be something different. Thanks for using Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to retain wife's married name as entered
Bill- I think I understand. Let me try explaning. John Brown marries Kathy Anderson. John dies. Kathy is still Kathy Brown. She doesn't go back to Kathy Anderson because most people know her has Kathy Brown and also because she doesn't want to. She remarries, Kathy Brown marries David Smith. Therefore, you want to enter the lady David married as Kathy Brown, not Kathy Anderson. Have I got it? Legacy doesn't quite work that way. You enter a lady's maiden name (Anderson), and she can marry 80 different men, but Legacy will remember her maiden name is Anderson and stick to it. As she marries, any children she has gets her husband's name. Legacy will keep that straight. Does that help? Robert At 2009-09-11 03:32 PM, you wrote: Could someone tell me how to do this correctly?

Re: [LegacyUG] How to retain wife's married name as entered
I understand what she means. If Karen Olsen marries Peder Brown. Peder Brown dies and she marries a second time Peter Smith and her name then is Karen Brown. She wants it to read that Karen Brown married Peter Smith, and not that Karen Olsen did. I guess you would get that happen if you added married names to females. Then however if Karen Olsen didn't change her name when she married you would give her a false married name, and the second marriage the name again would be wrong. I guess I would add under marriage notes that her name when she married Peter Smith was Karen Brown.

Re: [LegacyUG] How to retain wife's married name as entered
I looked at the Marriage Information window and didn't see how to change the wife's name to the one from her second husband. How is this done? Ila East Sherry/Support wrote: Bill, On the Marriage Information window for each marriage, you can enter how you'd like the wife's married name to show for that marriage. Thanks for using Legacy.

From the replies I got I can only assume that Legacy will not allow me to enter the wife's name on her second marriage the way I prefer to enter it. So I shall just live with Legacy's rule that I must use the same maiden name on both marriages - and I assume it would hold true even for 3rd and 4th and etc. marriages. Thanks again. Bill R.

RE: [LegacyUG] How to retain wife's married name as entered
Bill, I would enter her as Mary Hinton and create spouse #1 as Joseph Brown. Change the Marital status of this marriage to Death of one spouse. Create spouse #2 as George Miller. This way on your reports it will show both marriages.

Here is the problem: GGM Mary Hinton married Joseph Brown. In Legacy I entered Wife's name as Mary Hinton. Joseph died five years later. Marriage #2 was to George Miller. I entered Wife's name as Mary Hinton Brown. Problem: When I do the above, Legacy automatically changes her (Wife's) name to Mary Hinton Brown - which is wrong and not as I entered. So my question is how can I keep her name the same as I enter it without Legacy changing it? The solution is probably simple but I have tried everything I can think of an nothing works - so I need someone's advice. Thanks, Bill R.

Bill Rhodes wrote GGM Mary Hinton married Joseph Brown. In Legacy I entered Wife's name as Mary Hinton. Joseph died five years later. Marriage #2 was to George Miller.

So my question is how can I keep her name the same as I enter it without Legacy changing it? Where are you entering the wife's name that Legacy is changing? I don't understand why you are having to enter the woman's name twice. When you add a wife to a man and she is not already in your database you create a new individual using her maiden surname - Mary Hinton. You don't need to enter her again when she re-marries, you just link her to the second husband but she still has the same maiden name. I don't use the facility to show married surnames in lists, but I am sure Legacy creates them by using the woman's forenames and the husband's surname. I don't think there is any way it will retain a previous married surname if she marries again. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

I may not understand the problem but I would the click on the icon of a person (the spouse) at the bottom left and add a new husband to Mary Hinton. Note that her maiden name does not change. Now her married name is Mary Hinton Miller and you can choose whether to display it or not per previous instructions.

What I do is to enter a Marriage Note to say that she married the second time using her first married name.
