This was written by me before I was married. Is there a way to change it to list under my married name as well? Perhaps Katherine Giacoletti (nee Davis)? Thank you.

Hello Katherine.
At the moment the database software only allows linking two different person entries as someones original and current name. So I added that link between Katherine Davis (https://my.strathspey.org/dd/person/2867/) and Katherine Giacoletti (https://my.strathspey.org/dd/person/2976/). Unfortunately the set of dances attributed to each are still shown separately.
From the database and historical viewpoint the policy is that we should keep the dance listed under the name the person had at the time it was published, eg as shown in the original book.
Anselm, in his spare time, is working on a major software update which will hopefully address name changes in a better way.
