I would like to add a person, but I can't see the way forward. The details are a little sensitive, potentially, for some. I would prefer not to get bogged down with details, so I hope the following summary will be sufficient in illustrating my conundrum.
Surely this has come up before? I thought it better to ask before I leaped......
Context: Australia, Victoria, events mentioned from 1895-1906
Arthur A, a bachelor, marries Mary B, a married woman. (her husband is alive and well!)
Mary B is still alive and well, and seemingly not divorced from anyone, though estranged, from Arthur A and original husband
Arthur A then marries Agnes C using the persona Arthur A(Alias_1) (presumably because bigamy)
Agnes C has 3 children with Arthur A(Alias_2a and Alias_2b, similar last names), the same Arthur as mentioned above^^^.
The last of these 3 children is a person that I would like to add a profile for. That person is my late Grandmother. In this scenario, she would have the last name at birth(LNAB) of A(Alias_2b)
If I add my grandmother using the policies that Wikitree have asked to be adopted when creating a profile, I believe that my grandmother would never be shown as having the last name that she used for her whole life, ever since she was able to say her own name, up until she married, a period of some 30 years.
If I proceed as advised, my grandmother would never be shown as Veronica A, which is her father's last name at birth, and is also the LNAB shown on his death certificate, along with his last assumed last name. His LNAB is also the name by which, Veronica, was known to the world.
When adding a profile for Veronica, I am asked:
Last Name at Birth: to which I should answer A(Alias_2b), as appears on documentation.
Current/Married Last Name: to which I should answer - my grandmother's married surname, D, if you like.
Where does A fit in for Veronica?
Is it reduced to being a footnote in her biography? It just does not seem fair. Am I missing something/over thinking?
Any help or kind comments are welcome.
