Incorrect surname in iFamily?
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2016 7:36 pm
HI,
Problem 1 I've just found and added 2 more generations to my Lo PINTO in iFamily. However, all but 2 show up as the surname "Lo Pinto" that I typed in. But 2 show up only as "PINTO" and that will mess up my surname listing!
I typed all the names in correctly, as "Lo PINTO" in the proper places of the iFamily screen. But later, the names in the "descendant" box showed up as "PINTO" ? I've tried everything I can to change it to no avail. Oddly, the 4th & 7th generation are "Lo PINTO" - only the 5th & 6th generation are PINTO !?!
Why do these surnames, not appear as I typed them in the boxes in the chart where I typed them? Do I have to delete these names & retype them in all over again? Or is there a better way to fix these surnames.
Problem 2, These newly found 2nd & 3rd great grandfathers have the title "Don" before their names. So at first I typed in "Don" & then their given & surnames. But in the box above, only "Don" appeared, as if it was a given name, not their real given names. I don't see anyplace to add a prefix to a name, like Mr, Mrs, Ms, etc. Is there any way I can note that in the name area? Have I missed something? Or should I just put that into my notes instead?
Thanks for any help to correct this dilemma,
