Would it be possible to have an additional option on the Names tab. I would like to be able to add 'Maiden Name' when a woman has been married before. I am getting round it by using 'Birth Name' - but an option to have Maiden Name would be better Thanks Sue Horsman

For that we also have sources as churchbooks and for Conformation and to the date they married. In old days a girl kept her maiden name whole life In modern time (after 1900) woman got the last name to her husband. For that BK have the alternative name as "name as married" so that is no problem many time we also have that a person have different names as in a census, then we use "neme in census" together with the year. By using those alternative name together with the birthname we have a splendid wiew of all names during a persons life together with sources. So in our (Scandinavian view) it is wrong to start a perso bn in Edit by a name that is not the name at birth and baptism/christian. All other names are second names related to other situatiuon. If you add two girs, one with married name and one with the name at birth/baptism/christian, how to separte them by loooing of the names. It is allready that if you add a foster/step/child that is visuable at the Edit on childlist as a child of the foster/step parents. Nor mark say that this child is not biological to the parents (at that screen) -- Otto Jørgensen http://home.online.no/~otjoerge/ All email is checked by NIS2014
