Dear Listers, I am having a big problem with the MyHeritage Pedigree Charts. They are insisting (at least I think it's them and not the people posting their trees!) on giving* all *children their father's surname as their 'birth' names! So frustrating! Has anyone contacted them about this? I am th

Rosemarie, I don't think it should be generalized like that. No, not all Azorean women assumed their husband's name. That didnt' happen until some time after the 1900'stime lines should be paid careful attention to. Women did not take on their husbands surname's on until recent times...arou
