With Wifes names do you enter them with their Maiden names

Question

Hi, I am new to this. My Question is, with Wifes names do you enter them with their Maiden names or do you enter them and include (NEE) after is. WHich is accepted practice.

Answer 1

Hi Peter,

Yes when entering your wife's name you enter her maiden name. (See:Name Field Guidelines ) Than you can use your surname as there current last name.

You can feel free to use nee in the Biography when writing up a Bio for her

Answer 2

We don't use "nee" on Wikitree. You'll enter the women's names as their maiden name (we call it the LNAB: Last Name At Birth). There are other fields for married surnames, and any other variations.
