When you know that the individual has used other names or dates of birth they should be listed in this block. Maiden names are considered alias names. The master name on a given record is the primary name submitted on the first fingerprint card for that individual. If Janet Beth Aldrone marries John Smith and legally takes his name, the next fingerprint card contributed for this subject should have the name Janet Beth Smith listing Janet Beth Aldrone in the alias field. "Nee", indicating a former name, should not be included in the alias field.
If a married person uses both last names, it should be contributed with both last names, separated by a hyphen or space, however the person lists their last name. When a name with a space or hyphen is received, alias names will automatically be created for all possible variations of the hyphenated name. Last names may contain as many as three combinations of hyphens or spaces. First names may contain up to two combinations of hyphens or spaces.
