Legal Name Change

Post by Phil Kretsinger » Tue Jan 06, 2009 8:40 pm

Is there a way to show a legal name change? This is not an adoption, just a name change which effects offsprings names.

Thank you

Thanks for your question Phil. There's not a dedicated functionality built into iFamily for recording the phases of a persons life when they have a particular name.

You can record the name change as an "Other event" in the events pane, recording the previous name of the person in that record. Changing the name of the person to their new moniker in their personal details pane and adding their old name in the alias field (AKA) should be sufficient.
