To Ira and All, For surnames with more than one part (/de Charette de la Contrie/) only the last part (/Contrie/) is given when I add a child to an individual. The 'European sorting name' flag hasn't effect. Regards and Happy New Year to all, Patrick TEXIER 71, avenue Marcel Ouvrier 91550 Paray-Vieille-Poste (France)
