- ๐๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐จ! :-) Some points to note, when researching family - Weddings bring two separate families together in celebration. It is true, the union of two people is an important aspect of family which cannot be ignored. The date of marriage is one of significance in the family history research process. Marriage facilitates the legal change of the bride's last name to that of her husband i.e if such is her choice.
A wife may choose to maintain her maiden name for particular reasons. Should she follow tradition and adopt the surname of her husband, she may carry her maiden name alongside her husband's surname (Double Barrel e.g Greenidge-Selman) or she may drop her maiden name granted at birth e.g Greenidge and reflect her husband's name on the island's marriage register and her official documents post marriage e.g ID Card, marriage certificate, academic certificates awarded post-marriage e.g Frances Grant.
To think that one may not be your blood relative because they carry a different surname, may serve as a derailment in Tracing one's family.
Remember, pay careful attention to surnames of adult females, in particular. Consider if they are or were married. Note that if the married couple birthed children after marriage, that child or children will likely carry the surname of the Union. The bloodline of the wife still follows through the children of the marriage, though they carry last names different to their mother's maiden name.
This observation of marriage and its impact on surname is crucial in Tracing one's bloodline or even health research into the origins and development of genetic diseases within a family. Be careful to probe beyond surnames when seeking to discover family.
