How to list a women married 3 times or more

Question

I have a relative that married 3 times and had children from all three husbands. Listing the husbands and children is trivial but there is only one area to list other Last Name(s). Maiden name, no problem, husband 3 name is current last name but since she has more that one "other last name" (i.e husband 1, husband 2) do I just list them there separated by a comma? This will display as "aka name1, name2" but I'm not sure this is correct especially when searching for these other names in Wikitree. Forgive me if this has been asked before but I cannot find the answer.

Yes, you simply list them under other last names, as I did here.

Why didn't you add John Edwards as one of her husbands?

Note that Last Name at Birth and Current Last Name are singular - only one name goes in each - but Other Last Names is plural - you can put all the in-between names she used, as well as variant spellings, in that field - just separate them with commas.

It's good to include any names in that field that people might use when searching for the person, so that the profile will be on the list that is found.

@ John -- insufficient data.

Hi John,

Yes, separate the names with a comma. If you have questions about the fields, you can click on the question mark next to the field and you will be taken to the help page.

Once you add the names, you will see how they are displayed on the profile. The profile will be searchable by those names.

It's really helpful to have a full biography with the info about the husbands and children listed.

Come back here to the forum if you have any other questions.

Thanks Peggy. I forgot about the question mark. Duh. When all else fails, read the instructions!

No problem, John -- I often forget this step myself!
