Finding the maiden names of the women in our tree is one obstacle that, at times, seems to be insurmountable. Often they are found with their husband’s names, like Mrs. John Williams or Mrs. A. Smith. Even after the husband dies, you may see them listed as Widow Williams. But there is hope.
Family History Daily has a new post on their website, “7 Little-Used Tricks for Finding That Missing Maiden Name” that may give you some clues to help find the maiden name for that elusive ancestor. Using one or more of their suggested tips may just be what you need to open a new and, hopefully, successful search.
Good luck and happy researching!
