I wonder if it could be due to how FTM wrote the Gedcom. When I write a surname into my program I try to avoid the issue of screwing up the surname by entering the "d'" or "de", "do" etc on the first line name.
For example... I enter "José de" on the Given name of the FTM program. And "Paiva" on the surname. I wonder if by entering "de" on the middle name section is what is causing it not to match.
