I have a female who married her cousin with the same last name. How to not show this as error – "wife has last name of husband?

add to Not Problem as Myoung said
Note: they may or may not be related via Common Ancestor – it up you if you care to dig into how they are related or not

Sounds like you are still on NameClean, since you had a question on Earl too. Just uncheck the name for cleaning when it doesn’t apply to the person.

Thanks, Renee . . . I got tired of unchecking on NameClean, so I took a ‘hacked’ approach. For the female cousin surnamed Wilkins who married a Wilkins, I changed her last name to “‘Wilkins” — by adding a ‘ before her surname. For my two men whose given names were Earl, I changed them to ‘Earl. I hope the two Earls and Miss/Mrs. Wilkins won’t mind.

Regards,

Herb
