Alternative Names

My father was the son of an immigrant to the UK and, before his marriage, he changed both his first and last name. This applies to a number of people in my family and I would like to record both the name at birth and the new name and have both (all) names displayed in reports.

How can I do this?

Thanks

Colin, I have moved this to the FH General Usage Forum that is more appropriate.

See how_to:handle_people_with_multiple_names|> How to Handle People With Multiple Names that gives advice about people changing their name.

Most Reports and Diagrams allow Alternate Names to be included, often by default.
But in the Individual Summary Report and Family Group Sheet use Report > Options > Contents tab and under Main Items select Alternate Names and Edit to Show if not empty.
