And remember, it's not always their maiden name.

Hi,

The short answer is - it depends on many things. How far back are you talking?

If you post some details of a person you are chasing ie birth year, married name, husband's name, where born/living, and other details you know, we will try and help.

Do you mean that you've found someone on the census & now want to see what his mother's maiden name was?
