I have have lots of ancestors with do/da/de in their names (as do we all...). I have a question about the preferred method of entering their names in a database.
1) I've been putting the do/da/de in the first/middle name field - following the middle name, so it doesn't alphabetize by the do's and da's. Should I be doing that, or just leaving the do/da/de out completely? 2) Also, I have some with compound names. Let's use "Maria do Rosario da Silva" as an example. Would I enter her last name as "Rosario da Silva", or "Rosario Silva" or just "Silva" (and leave Rosario as her middle name)? Any advice on the preferred method would be appreciated!
