When you cant find maiden name how do you put name for printing for temple? Just use first and middle name with no surname? or do you use married name for printing the cards to take to temple?

    Formatting names so temple ordinances may be completed is explained in this help article https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-format-names-to-avoid-the-needs-more-information-error-when-reserving-ordinances

    According to the table, if you know a woman’s given name(s), but not her maiden name, you would add the known given name but leave the surname field blank
