Hello!
Wondering if anyone has a great place to store maiden name. I'm contemplating setting up an alias type. Thoughts?
Thanks

Selga,
That’s exactly what we do. We have an alias type of Maiden Name and that’s where we record and store it. Because it’s an alias, it is part of the search when doing a constituent search.

I agree - alias type is a great option. You will find some constituents will give you the married name or the maiden name interchangeably depending on which card they are using or which type of transaction they are making. It helps that the alias is a searchable field so the same account will come up no matter which last name is typed and you will avoid duplicate accounts being created.
