Hi,

these questions may sound silly, nevertheless I would like to have
some input on how others do handle things:

1 When I started using Legacy, I entered all the given names into the
Given field Since some people have up to 4-5 second/third etc. such
names, I changed my mind lateron and made all additional names into
AKAs. The advantage is that for instance my mother doesn't show up
anymore as 'Margaretha Emilie Johanna Maria' <g>. The disadvantage of
course - people with same (first) given names can't be identified
easily, and I don't really like the looks of it in reports (again).
How do you do it?

2 Similar story with titles. At the beginning I entered all the Dr.,
Dir. Ing (engineer) etc. but later decided that it just sounded silly
on reports or pedigrees to have an uncle named Dr. Fred Flintstone (or
the like). Thus I moved all this info over to the notes. Particularly
some 50 or 100 and more years after a person is gone, I feel that the
title looses increasingly more of the importance that it may have had
before. What's you solution to this?

Thanks for your input

Tilman
