12 Strategies for Finding Female Ancestors' Maiden Names
Finding female ancestors poses unique challenges that can throw roadblocks in your way. And the reason for that is simple. The women in our family tree assume the surname of their husbands when they marry. In genealogy, we're researching backward through time, and that means we encounter a woman’s married surname first. However, it's critical that we eventually locate the records that mention the woman's maiden name so that we can find her parents and continue to climb her family tree. Professional genealogist Shelley Bishop has come to the rescue in her new family tree magazine article. It's called Ladies in Waiting. In that article, she covers 12 resources for discovering maiden names.
