Graham, The first name should be the given and surname (or maiden name) and the second and subsequent the AKAs. It would appear that GEDxlate is replacing the first name with the subsequent names.

So then GEDxlate uses the 'given name' from the 'alternate name' as the 'given name'. Then to make things even more confusing as Ron said, a name in quotes in the main given name area will appear in GEDxlate 'Nick' name column. I give up, it's all way beyond me ;-) Graham On 6/03/2011 7:49 AM, James Cook wrote: > Should AKA names be exported to GEDCOM as such (ALIA tag)?
