Re: [Gramps-users] the calendar and wife's name

[Don A. <don...@co...>]

I did not write the Calendar report, and the person who did has
disappeared, but I will try to guess at a good solution.

Each person can support multiple names. The preferred name is displayed
on the front of the Edit Person window, and is used for reports. If a
person goes by multiple names and prefers one, use this one as your
"preferred name", and the report should show it.

If you already have multiple names, you can switch preferred names by
selecting the name in the Name tab on the Edit Person window, right
click, and select "Make this the preferred name"
