Of course there is the other side as well. My sister prepared the newspaper announcement of my parents upcoming 60th wedding anniversary -- listing the children and grandchildren.

Let's say my parents are Mr. & Mrs. Jones. Oldest daughter...V. Jones...husband...N. Smith....next daughter B. Ander (she took her husband's last name) granddaughter L. Ander, son - P. Jones, wife - F. Peters, granddaughter J. Jones, daughter S. Jones, husband D. Brown.

The newspaper called back and asked who are all these people???

So.... it can be confusing. Also...when we travel we take a copy of our marriage license in case there should be any problem....
