Your germanic names are look correct. The Von, von, de or De also VON or DE
are originally quallifiers indicating a place of origin or adres. The
spelling may differ. The 'de' 'von' (no capitals) are most used by nobel
families.
Legacy misses a field to indicate this (also more fields: sex); other
programs (Aldfaer free Dutch) have them.
I use somtimes Alias but that creates a new person.
For the 'sex' I append this to the given name to have them sorted out. The
are symbols for male and female, I use ° for unknown.
Hope this helps, Guido

How do I list a person with a "Dit" name.
For example, 'Francois de La Tour Dit Simonet d'Auvergne"
