I used to have to use the slashes to separate the names in Family Tree Maker. I am not sure about the latest edition of Family Tree Maker.

In that case, you use slashes: Manuel de /Mello/. I don't remember which genealogy program you have to do that with. Maybe an older one? Legacy asks for Given and Surnames: RootsMagic asks for Given and Surnames: I don't have Family Tree Maker installed on this computer and I'm not a Mac user, so I don't know what the Add a Person field looks like there. Liz, Rick and I are "TMG Refugees." Our program (The Master Genealogist, aka TMG) is no longer published. A couple of guys in Australia are supposed to be working on a replacement for it (it's been 5 years already)!!!

My Genealogy program allows me to enter other names such as AKA. That way I can enter the first name and the de, do, da dos as the first name and the just the last name under the last name. I can also enter an AKA name with the last name with the de, do, dos, da that way I can search both ways I can look for “Mello or de Mello” both will be there. This program is great also for the never ending name change that woman have You have a woman using Maria de Jesus in one record, Maria da Conceicao in another and Maria Soares in yet another All name will be in the search list. As Cheri said use a top line stand alone genealogy program as you cannot do this in the on-line programs.
