Name change on record

Jansson, Katherine Rachel

I think that if a person changed their name I should put the name that they changed to but, when indexing is there a way to put their old name so that people who are searching for them under their original can still find them?

From Project Instructions/General Indexing Guidelines/Alias Names:

If alias names were included on a document, or if an individual's name was listed with various spellings on the document, include all variants, separating each with the word Or. For example, if a name was written as "Georgios (George), George Broski, George Browzowski, or George Brzozowski," index the name fields as follows:

• Given Name: Georgios Or George
  
• Surname: Broski Or Browzowski Or Brzozowski
