There may well be variations in description of names amongst our Royal
Family, but what one needs to know is the family name, or, perhaps more
accurately, the "house" name.
For example George V was born into the House of Windsor and a search for
George Windsor 1865 +/-2 will find his christening.

Subject: [LegacyUG] entering royal titles
I'm having a problem searching for IGI names. I haven't been able to find
any guidance on how to enter royal titles into genealogy programs.
Typically royals don't have formal surnames prior to the early 1900's so
where exactly do you put their title? Do you put the entire title as their
surname, i.e, Duke of Windsor? Do you break it up - Prefix: Duke Suffix:
of Windsor.
I've noticed that if I use the IGI search, I get a lot of zero results. But
if I go to the family search site I get results for the same person.
Example, I have Ferdinand Karl Archduke of Austria in my database, entered
as First Name: Ferdinand Karl , Surname:Archduke of Austria. IGI search in
Legacy returns zero hits. If I go to the website and enter First Name:
Ferdinand Karl Archduke of Surname:Austria I get 3 results. However, not
all records are like that.
I'm confused....What is the actual standard for this?
Thanks a bunch
