    When it comes to Family History, it is a good practice to us your maiden name.

    In general, stick with maiden names in genealogy -- but for your profile on FamilySearch's Family Tree, nobody will ever see that besides you, so you can put in whatever you feel like. I leave my surname blank, for example.
