It's what makes researching women particularly difficult in many cases. I have noticed a phenomenon that has organically grown on Facebook. Because women who are married but wish to connect up with friends from school etc. - they almost invariably include their maiden name in their facebook name. I'm hoping that as time goes on that these maiden names will continue to flourish on facebook and on any entity that may replace it in the future. I can clearly see that sometime in the future that faceboook make well become a database that will be connected to genealogical websites such as ancestry and searchable by future generations. Even women who 'discarded' their maiden names upon marriage as was and is still the custom for many are including their maiden names. I know of at least one person who was able to find relatives descended through a maternal maiden name. As many of us know, women pretty much lost their maiden names upon marriage.
