Why are Maiden Names Hard to Find?

Finding Maiden Names

For many years, genealogy pretty much ignored maiden names of females and their ancestral lines. Usually in the past a maiden name was given but very little information about that woman's history.

In today's genealogy world, people want to find out as much as possible about a woman's maiden name and her ancestors. However, if you have a family tree that doesn't include the maiden names of your ancestors, there are ways to still find out the information you need about her family.
