Russ The original message wasn't mine but it was something I was interested in as I have the same problem with a few of my relatives. I'm still not sure where to find where to add an alternate name. I do not want to use the AKA as it doesn't show properly in reports, etc. Ali ----- Original Message ----- From: H R Worthington To: ftm-tech@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 6:03 PM Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] Suggested entry fields Ali, The Name Fact can be used multiple times. But, in your earlier example, isn't "Eileen" "also known as"? You would enter her name as Patricia Eileen Smith The add the Fact AKA and put "Eileen" in that field. When doing Charts and Reports, you might want to include the AKA as part of the name options. Just a thought. ___________________________ Russ Mailto:rworthington@att.net ________________________________ From: Ali <avws2601@sympatico.ca> To: ftm-tech@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, October 3, 2011 5:48:28 PM Subject: Re: [FTM-TECH] Suggested entry fields BJ Where do you find the place to add an alternate name?
