I have several in my tree with Dona in front of their name. I did not put it in listing them in my gedcom as someone told me it really didn't mean anything. However I think that it would distinguish C.na de Souza from Dona C.na de Souza in some cases as often there are more than one with the same name at the same time. Used it on my paper records, but not in my computer. What should I do? Which is correct in the gedcom? Thanks, Dolores Vener
