no, that is NOT what I was talking about. In order for my Sansone Zodia
to appear properly, I had to hyphenate it. Otherwise it appears as
Zodia only and all entries appear in the index as Zodia, first name
Sansone. For example, my great-grandfather's name was Saverio Sansone
Zodia. If I don't hyphenate the dual surname, it appears in the index
and reports as Zodia, Saverio Sansone - it thinks that Sansone is a
MIDDLE name

When the surname is Sconza Testa, that's how it appears. When the name
change occurred I entered the remaining persons as Testa, so when it's
appropriate Sconza Testa prints and when it's Testa, that's what prints.

Ruth,
Do all of the Sconza Testa's appear in the index as Sconza Testa for
a surname or are they under Testa for the surname? It appears from
the reports you show that it is NOT recognizing the first part of the
surname and only recognizing the Testa.........which would mean that
they had the same surname.
Dual surnames are NOT all that unusual in Italy. They are very
common in Sicily. I have 5 different combinations in my tree alone.
In order for them to appear correctly in reports, I had to make sure
that the surname was entered correctly as as surname and not part in
the surname and part in the name field. This was expecially true
from the files that were gedcom'd from FTM which handles it
differently than Legacy
