Thea; Your directions work perfectly. Thank you! Guess I know how I’ll be spending my day! LOL! Thanks so much for your help. I though there must be a way to do it!

Right now I can't recall how I did it (then), but you can go to the person (by clicking the name and making it blue in the center of the screen OR by going to the left side of FTM and find your person alphabetically under the surnames that begin with de/da/do). Now, look over to the right and see the person's name and click it in the box. Click on the 'edit' pencil and up pops a box with three boxes in it (Given Name, Surname and Suffix). I then put the de/da/do at the end of the 'Given Name' box and erase it in the 'surname' box. Then click 'OK.' Hope this is clear. It isn't as hard as my ramblings make it appear. Good Luck, Thea Norum On Friday, March 1, 2019 at 3:02:17 PM UTC-8, Sam Koester wrote: Hi all; I’ve been trying to see if I can follow Cheri’s procedure in my familytreemaker program. That is First name/names followed by de/da/do and surname only in surname field. So far, I only see one space for inputting the name and it is for the full name. Am I missing something? Is there a work around? Thanks all, Sam (Mazatlán, MX) Virus-free. www.avast.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
