I have listed with her family with the name she was give at birth: Corilla Alberta Lapierre, b. 08 October 1895 I use FTM, and it has a field for alternate names. I have recorded her there as Sister Philias, the name she took when she became a nun. Any other information about her life can be included in your notes. For the purposes of genealogy, she would be an unmarried woman, with no descendants. The information you entered - *Sister Martina of St. Agnes* should be listed as an alternate name for your nun, not in the section where you would enter the name of the husband.
