How to add a female who has the same name as maiden name

Question

I have a Eliza Mary Best who married a John Best. And I wonder how can I add her that it says:

Eliza Mary Best (formerly Best)

Thanks,

Christine

I'd add something in the bio to make it clear this wasn't a mistake.    It happens more often than you think.

Thanks for all the suggestions. What I did is put a . after the married name:

Best-4321

It works and I will leave it for the meantime. It's not perfect I know and one day maybe it will be possible to add a married name same as maiden name.

Be prepared for someone to come along and "correct" that added . as it is not standard for name fields.

Mostly this type of thing is thoroughly explained in the biography, as it is way more common that you may think.

Answer 1

You just add it, but it doesn’t show up at the top of the profile. I have one in my tree where cousins married.

Answer 2

I also have one where first cousins married. I just made a note in the biography of that fact.
