In my ancestry, there a case of a family who made a legal name change, from <italian-name> to <new-WASPy-name> in 1943. I found the official record in the NJ state records at wwwnet-dos.state.nj.us/DOS_ArchivesDBPortal/NameChanges.aspx I had this individual under his <new-WASPy-name>. What is a good way to record the newly-discovered previous name ? I didn't see a way to record this name change as an "event" for this person. To me, the ideal would be to have the individual ending up recorded as <new-WASPy-name> aka <italian-name> , with an event (or whatever) explaining that there was this legal name change on <date>, state file reference "DCR File 12345". What is the best way to record this in Gramps? -- Gramps-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-users https://gramps-project.org
