Yes, I put my names as: Given: Manuel de Last: Mello Some programs don't separate out the given and the last (or surname). In that case, you use slashes: Manuel de /Mello/. I don't remember which genealogy program you have to do that with. Maybe an older one?
Legacy asks for Given and Surnames: [image: image.png] RootsMagic asks for Given and Surnames: [image: image.png] I don't have Family Tree Maker installed on this computer and I'm not a Mac user, so I don't know what the Add a Person field looks like there. Liz, Rick and I are "TMG Refugees." Our program (The Master Genealogist, aka TMG) is no longer published. A couple of guys in Australia are supposed to be working on a replacement for it (it's been 5 years already)!!!
