I do similar. I use the Suffix field for some titles but always follow with
of and the last location this person was found.My data contains several
persons with the same name and so it is very hard to separate one from the
other.For example: "Title:" Dr. "Given:" Adam "Surname:" Jones "Suffix:"
Jr. of Lancashire England

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Entering multiple title suffixes
It's up to you whether you want a name to read Joe Bloggs Jr. M.D. or not.
Personally, I don't enter anything in the Title or Suffix field (except notes
in privacy brackets eg to quickly identify someone when I have several with the
same name) unless the person was born with that Title or Suffix. I add degrees
and honours in Events.
To me it doesn't make sense to make a practice of entering the birth name,
which is standard practice - and then add titles and suffixes that came later.

How should I enter the information that a person is both a Jr. (or
Sr.) and an M.D.? Or should I just leave the M.D. off?
