Back to SurnameNotes, or SurnameNotes version history

At line 5 added 3 lines.
Once a surname note is added to a census record a note appears on the search page whenever a person searches for the specified "correct" name:
There are %%(color:blue; border-bottom: 1px solid blue)surname notes%% with suggested surname of Smith.
At line 7 removed 2 lines.
A second appropriate use of surname notes is when a family with multiple generations that include family members with different surnames are recorded using ditto marks such that members end up with the wrong surname. For example if a married daughter and her husband are listed in the middle of a household, and have a different surname, other children of the head of household listed below them are sometimes listed with a ditto mark under the surname even though they are siblings of the married daughter and share the surname of the head of household not the married name of the daughter they appear under. Unless it can be proven beyond reasonable doubt that this is the case these names have to be recorded with the ditto mark interpreted as the surname on the previous line, with a surname note. This way the record can be found using either name.
At line 11 changed 1 line.
