FYI

.

In the "Vitals" Section under the "Name" field, her "Last Name" (ie. 'Family Name'/'Surname') SHOULD be her "Birth" 'Family Name'/'Surname'

.

Whereas ...

.

In the "Other Information" Section, BOTH, her "Married" 'Family Name(s)'/'Surname(s)' can be, separately, recorded as an "Alternate Name" as "Married Name".

.

Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

.

How should I enter names in Family Tree?

Always list women by their maiden names.
