My preference is to add events like Title of Nobility , Title Prefix and Title Suffix as I choose to keep the original name as close as I can to that with which the person was born. This also allows, with the first option, a person having multiple Titles as some Royal nobility have multiple

Lee, You are quite correct to draw attention to the fact that there was no family name as such. In the case of Ann of Cleves, I would agree that the most appropriate surname would be “of Cleves” similar to the use of “D’Harcourt” as derived from the French meaning “of Harcourt”. Many are not

Jenny, Following your logic detailed below, a doctor of medicine should not have a suffix of MD or Doctor and an ordained minister of God should not have a prefix of Rev. You state that since these were inherited at some stage in a person's life, you would only create an event to cover this.

I totally agree with other posters … I’d use “of Cleves” or “von Cleve” as the last name since there is no standard family “last name” in many German or English aristocracy. Incidentally, you may want to verify the “der Freiliche” part … I think that’s an error. In many sources, including

I was thinking of opening this line of discussion at some time as I have also pondered how to best handled the vons, van ders, etc in Legacy. Putting the von in the surname comes out OK in reports (as far as I can tell) but it appears as the surname when you do an Internet search of FamilySearch,

Brian, I believe Jenny to be correct. These academic awards and, eg. peerages awarded during a lifetime, cannot be present at birth in the records as they were not there in reality. I consider the correct place to be Alt Names, in conjunction with an Event if wanted. Ron Ferguson

I think that we should be careful of confusing nick names with real names “The Lionheart” and “The Terrible” are nick names. We have two English Prime Ministers William Pitt the Elder and William Pitt the Younger they were both named “William Pitt”; “the Elder” and “the younger” were nick names

I think you are assuming that the Legacy use of a Title either prefix or suffix, must be present at birth. From where or how you get to that assumption, I don't know but this is straight from the Legacy Help file: Titles, both prefix and suffix, include Jr., Sr., Rev., Major, General, King of
