Best Answer

There are no laws about family trees. You can put in any information you want, and leave off any information that is not useful to you.

Another answer: In a family tree, people are generally listed by their birth name, so your mother would be identified as, for example, Mary Jones, her birth name. When she marries Robert Smith, her name is not changed, but a notation is made that she married Robert Smith.

If for some reason you do not wish to identify her maiden name, you do not have to do so. But why would you do that? The purpose of a family tree is to identify a person's ancestry. If you don't identify her by her birth name, you cannot show her ancestry.

When filling out a family tree do you use maiden names instead of the females married names?

In a family tree, use a woman's maiden or birth name rather than her married name. It helps to trace her line of the family. The decision of whether to use birth name or married name for women when creating a family tree is an individual decision that depends on how you want to organize your information. In either case, both names must be recorded somewhere. sometimes both names are included in the family tree layout.
