Hello again,
I have various difficult to handle personal and surnames: Mc, Mac and La surnames where the next letter is capitalized without a space between: Legacy will not let me do this: McVey, LaDuke… Sephardic/Spanish surnames where the mother’s surname is listed after the father’s: Pardo Pereira, Roquet Viamonde, Mendes Monsanto I have been filing the mother’s (second) surname under “suffix” with a comma between to set it off. Von, Van, Von de, Van de, Ahn de, De la, prefixes that are not actually part of the surname but are actually part of the surname… I have, so far, put these in “prefix” so that the name will go under the main name. German first names where there is a string of four to six first names…. How to differentiate between the many first names and the actual name the person went by? Then I have a great many Aliases and variations in surname spellings… I have finally changed the family view to show aliases so that I will be less likely to create duplicate records under different names for the same person! If anyone has any methods that work for these, I’d love to know. Thanks, Carol No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
