When you add someone to your tree that's been previously married, do you add them by their married name or their maiden name? Any ideas. Tracey

On my own tree I add all women using their maiden surname. Using surnames is a more accurate picture of your tree and marriage surname is associated with that of her partner through graphs and reports. Judy
