Question or Description of Problem:
More of a philosophy question. How do you keyword people's names?
Initially I started with firstname_lastname but quickly realized that was not particularly useful when looking at the list of keywords and seeking related family members.
In my genealogy stuff we're taught to use lastname_firstname_middlename and for females to use the maiden surname as the lastname and document the marriages separately due to multiple marriages and divorces. That's fine for most paper documents but falls apart when trying to use LR to keyword the images of these people.
I'm thinking of creating a hierarchical structure that mirrors my genealogy folders so
people
Before I get too far along in the keywording I wanted to see how other folks handle this.

family group which is the last name
My problem is how to document people whose names change via marriage over the time I have pictures of them.individual name in format lastname_firstname_middlename(s)
