Re: [Gramps-users] Handling no known maiden name

[Don A. <dal...@us...>]

Each name has a "type" associated with it. The name that appears on the
Edit Person dialog is the "Preferred Name".  The current types are
"Birth Name", "Married Name", "Also Known As", and "Other Name".

You should be able to enter the person in with their Married Name, and
label it as a "Married Name". This label should prevent any confusion
with a maiden name.  If/when you discover the maiden name, you can add
the name as a "Birth Name", and set it to the preferred name.
