[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 514771, member: 84"] mother in law explained to me that taking on the women's maiden names into the family bank of names (as in making it a middle name ect) was a way of keeping track of family lines long ago. Now how accurate that is, I dunno. My family never did it. It hasn't been carried on so far as I know within the great grands names or the great great grand. So far it's only been first names they've added in. I believe the trend to do this is dying out quickly. I think that is sad, as those folks were right, it was an easy way to keep track of linage.
