[quote=Anonymous]One place where changing a name (mainly in anglo countries) becomes a nightmare is genealogy. I can follow a man through his life but have to do extra work to track a woman. I have to find marriage records to find out her birth name to track her parents. If she remarries, sometimes I can't find her death dates or grave or have to go digging for a second or third marriage certificate. The French have a different approach. A female is typically recorded in official records using her maiden name throughout her life - birth, death, marriage, census etc While on this subject, avoid calling your sons after their fathers because that makes research harder too![/quote]
