That Maiden Name May be Something Else

A record indicates that a last name is a woman’s “maiden name.” Is it possible that it’s technically not her last name at birth, but something slightly different? It could be any of the following:

•Last name at birth?

•Biological father’s last name?

•Biological mother’s last name?

•Step-father’s last name?

•Adoptive parents’ last name?

First husband’s last name?
