Maybe i am overlooking this option but i think it would be really handy to have seperate fields to fill in the names of the witnesses at batptismes, weddings an/or deathcertificats.

Now i am using the field "fact-notitation" buth i dont find this very handy.

I was wondering if it will be possible in the near future to fill in multiple first names or middle names as well. In the present situation, a name as John Peter Gusdorf for instance (with John the first name, Peter the middle) is seen as John-Peter. This way, the stats about first names doesn't make any sense. If it would be possible to fill in first and (multiple) middle names separately, the stats about names would be a lot better because you can see how often some name (first or middle) is used within the family (so x times John, y times Peter, instead of 1 times John-Peter).

I have seen a number of posts about this subject, so I reckon there are more people who would see this as a big improvement! 

I just want to add that I also would very much like this feature.

I don't know whether to enter the complete name or not, as there is no distinction between first names (the one you are called) and middle names.

For example, my name is X Y Z Ericsson and I'm called X. But my brother has the configuration X Y Z Ericsson but is called Y.

Hi.

It has been a year since Vincent wrote about this and you sent it to the right department. As Per also wrote it's not always the "first" of the first names that the person are called, at least not here in Sweden. The majority of citizens have more then one first name. So it would be great to be able to "mark" which one of the entered first names that is the name they are called.

 Perhaps in a separate box, by right-clicking the name and mark it or by entering an @ in front of it. Anders @Sven Gunnar gives "Sven" in the tree. Some have doubble first names without a hyphen, so Anders @Sven @Gunnar gives "Sven Gunnar".

In Sweden the other first names is not called middle names, so a box for middle name wouldn't do it for us.

I have noticed on one of my sites that there is a chat room connected to it.

can this feature be added to My / any site ?

How is it done?

I'm sure this has been suggested before, but as far as I know, nothing has come of it, so I'm going to give it another go.

 The one thing keeping me from loving the Family Tree Builder completely is that when a person has multiple spouses, you can only view one set of children at a time. This is incredibly frustrating, especially if it happens with someone that cuts off half the family tree unless you choose a different spouse.

 Please, allow us to view  it all at once!

Today I found someone who could be  a member of my family. Also I found someone who could be his son.

I don't link this person to my tree, cos I'm not sure yet. So I thought: Wouldn't it be nice to add people and Tag them (also visually) as insecure? May the rectangle has a different color, or a border, or something like this...?

-----------------------

Ich habe heute jemanden gefunden, der zu unserer Familie gehören könnte und vielleicht auch dessen Sohn.

Ich möchte diese Person noch nicht mit dem Stammbaum verlinken, denn ich bin mir noch nicht wirklich sicher. Ich denke es wäre super, wenn man solche Personen markieren könnte und somit erstmal einlinken (andere Farbikeit des Feldes, einen Rahmen,etc...)

Best,

Hi Arcadi,

no that's not my point.

With an inscure family member I mean someone you found and you only guess it could be a member of your family tree. Maybe this person has the same surname and lived by an location where it could be possible that this person belongs to your tree. But you are not sure yet, cos your informations of this person are to unsure.

 So you can add this person to your tree, but tag him as insecure. If you have more informations you can insert the person as a real member of your family, or delete him.
