Her gravestone, erected many years after her death, has "Lady Laura Kadoorie" - therefore it is at least an "also known as." But this seems like a posthumous award? Therefore, not a "best known as," which is how I tend to use the "display name" field. I added her probate record to the profile overview. She is clearly referred to as Laura Kadoorie. The gravestone is incorrect.

I'm a little off topic but I found the coolest photo:

At least I hope others think so, too.

If her husband was knighted after she died, should the title Lady even be an AKA?

What's the protocol here in general? For example, if someone became King after their wife died, would that wife ever be referred to as Queen? I would have thought not, but I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong.

I agree with you, Erica. If a person became King after their wife died, she could not be his Queen.

You can see a reallife story of such a person here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_M%C3%A4rtha_of_Sweden

Remi one thing I noticed from your link - maybe Wikipedia is getting useful?

Styles of
Crown Princess Märtha of Norway

Reference style Her Royal Highness
Spoken style Your Royal Highness
Alternative style Ma'am

There's a distinction between "style" and "form" for writing out names in genealogy, isn't there? I think we've tried to cover it in the project http://www.geni.com/projects/Naming-Conventions-for-Knights/11429

Thank you Erica.

How do I do that in future?

I see in another discussion today that jMu mentioned not being ale to tag her projects, and asking if that was a facility restricted to curators.

Terry responded, but for the life of me cannot find the discussion to give you the link.

Interesting childhood memory, naming people in whom we have mentioned in the Origins of Baghdadi Trade Diaspora.
