I have been arbitrating Michigan marriage records. Some forms have a blank for "Maiden name if a widow." The instructions say to index the bride's name using both the maiden name and the married name on the form. Many indexers or indexing only the married name. Arbitrators need to look for this because both indexers often do this.
