I've adopted the approach of showing the individual's First Name, Maiden Name and then Second Last Name in brackets. For example: I'm thinking it might actually be better the other way round, i.e. to show the Second Last (married) name first and then the Maiden Name in brackets. So I guess I have a couple of questions: a) Would Maiden Name in brackets make more sense and/or is there a convention for this? b) If so, is there some way I can bulk edit all my current entries to make the change? Many thanks. Martin
