I have a list of deaths with only the death dates to index. Many of the women are listed as 'Mrs. ____________" and then has the nee name following. Which name do I index? Do I make two different entries? Or do I put, for example:

Mrs.

Andrew (nee Alicia Wright)

Christensen

    It is always best to share your batch, but,

    You would create two records:

    Deceased:

    Prefix: Mrs.

    Given Name: Alicia

    Surname: Wright Christensen

    (and the date of death fields filled in)

    2nd entry:

    Other:

    Given Name: Andrew

    Surname: Christensen

    Relationship: Husband
