Unknown Maiden Names?

Question

Is it better to create an "Unknown" profile for a wife with unknown maiden name or to add the information about her to the husband's profile in hopes of finding her maiden name before creating her profile?

Answer 1

If I had quality sources of her marriage and death dates, I would add a profile for her as an Unknown. Her LNAB may never be found, but she deserves a profile since quite possibly she had descendants that lived on. Maybe one day her birth name will be known.

Certainly add the profile, and include any dates and locations you know, so it improves the chances of finding more about her in the future.
