Remarks	Note: The results listed above reflect the default match sensitivity (85).
Remarks	Note that this definition does not produce the same match code for two strings such that the first is a man's name and the second includes the man's name as the marriage name portion of a woman's name. To match names according to the marriage name, use the Name (Marriage Name Only) match definition. The recommendation for matching names is to use this definition in conjunction with the Name (Marriage Name Only) match definition, combining the results with an OR cluster condition, and in the same job to include other match definitions such as Address or Phone.
