Women’s names have always been a problem. I always record the way the name

I usually make a change in how I record once it actually becomes a problem.When I was first starting, I automatically added the father's name to all women. Now I would NEVER do that for Portuguese.But as we know, that's how a lot of countries do it.As an aside comment, we with Portuguese ancestry
Another factor that I just thought of is something that will happen in the future for me.I think the way I name people might help when I am ready to publish the genealogies of each village in book form.If I have to look through notes to see how a person was named, that seems like it might be too
