Show ALIAS fields in Source Linker Details
German birth and marriage records have maiden names indexed in separate fields. I.e., Spouse's Alias, Mother's Alias, or Spouse's Mother's Alias. This information shows up in the "Record" details, and in the "Record Hints" popup, but IT DOES NOT SHOW UP in the Source Linker details. As a result, only the womens' first and middle names tend to be visible in the Source Linker, which seems to lead to many many linking errors. It also slows down more experienced users.
PLEASE show these fields in the Source Linker "details" pane. It would make a HUGE difference.

I agree.
The maiden name should also be used for the mother when adding new individuals as parents of an existing person.
It is very important information that makes the older German records much better than typical American birth and marriage records. It can be viewed with a few extra clicks, but could be made much better.
