In a journal report you can suppress married names so that unless there
is more than the surname in the tag it will not print in reports.

The way I do it is to enter the Detail, City, County, State and Country
for the first tag for a person, usually the birth or baptism tag: First
Parish Church, Gloucester, Essex County, MA, USA. Then I enter in
subsequent tags the Detail and City and the -County, -State and
-Country, using exclusion markers unless more detail is needed for
clarity.

You can also use the alternate place name, but that takes a lot more
entering to use. I am reserving the alternate to print the full
State/Province name.

The above works in Ver 4.0 and I trust will when the reports are
available in Ver 5.
