I have seen this on other programs, and I found it useful, particularly with living relations, or family that I personally knew. I found that with many people having names passed down through the family, they often went by a different name and I have an entire branch in my Grandfathers era who all went by a different name than that given on their birth certificate !

iFamily will find it in searches.
Neville
" Also Known As" (aka) is a defined field in the database but has not been implemented as a user interface field so you cannot see it, enter it, edit it.... Will add aka to the todo list, Will add it as a search option.
Thanks, Keith
