does T·E·I seriously not have a single word of current guidance on how to classify maiden names

@Lady

<persName>
<forename type="given">Margaret</forename>
<forename type="unused">Hilda</forename>
<surname type="birth">Roberts</surname>
<surname type="married">Thatcher</surname>
</persName>

?

@gaditb if you check the URL this is outdated documentation in the Vault, not current recommended practice

@gaditb it’s also pretty unsatisfactory; in current American traditions some people consider a maiden name a first surname and some consider it a last middle name, with differing implications for sorting and format, and there is no obvious T·E·I mechanism to distinguish the two
