Subject: Suppressing "Her married name was ..." in reports
Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2006 12:48:05 -0700


Except when a woman chooses to keep her maiden name (or a name not her husband’s) after marriage, I want to suppress the
statement “Her married name was …” in reports because most of the time it is superfluous. But, I still want to keep the
statement if she chooses not to change her surname to her husband’s surname.

At the prompt after completing the marriage tag I select YES to create a married name so the pick list shows her probable
married name, even if she chooses not to change it to her husband’s surname.

Must I edit the report in a word processor if I want to eliminate the statement (if she changed her name to her husband’s
surname)? Or, do I say NO to the prompt and then enter a name change tag?

I enter all persons by their birth name and want reports to reflect their birth name. All name changes would then need be
included in the individual’s narrative, etc.
