A grandfather changed his birth name shortly after getting married
How do I log this change so both names are searched & provide hints
Entry by second name shows date that may be date of conversion
It is clearly not birth date

In the "Other Information" Section ...

.

ADD the "Changed" Name; as, an "Alternate Name", under the "Other Information" Section.

.

That way, the "Changed" Name will ALSO be,

(1) searched, when "Searching"; and,

(2) available for "Hints".

.

I hope this helps.

Here is a link that will answer your question.

The name in the Vitals section and the names in the Other Information section are both used in record hint connecting, I believe.

 

Here's a link to an informative article on Record Hints.

Good luck!
