By the way, just as a matter of information, Michele's discovery is exactly how my Dad's nickname, Red, got in the surname field. His nickname was in my FTM as an AKA. When I imported from FTM, all given name AKA's were put in the surname field. Mystery solved. [Then, I had to apply the lesson that even though I corrected each individual file, once entered into a surname field, the master list of surnames would still have it, until deleted from the master list.] Barbara
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michele Lewis Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2007 5:59 PM To: legacy E-Mail List Subject: [LegacyUG] Surname formatting part II I am going through the master list of surnames and correcting the formatting as it was suggested and it is working very well but in the process I have found an interesting glitch. Apparently when I imported my FTM file all AKAs were automatically put in the surname space! So, when added only a first name AKA in FTM (like Polly) it transferred over to the surname spot. I wouldn't have readily noticed this if it weren't for me reformatting my surnames take out the all caps. Very interesting! So, I am fixing both issues at the same time. michele Give Legacy as a Gift for 25% Off.
