Hi All

As i am still new to this I was wondering if there is a general 'rule of thumb' for filling in surnames on the trees on GR. Do you leave the surname as the ladies Maiden Name or always put in the married name. I should imagine it effects the Tree Matches bit depending on which surname you use.

Thanks for any advice

Thanks for that, makes sense to leave it at maiden names
