Name indexes

Overview of name directories

Each card index contains four name indexes:

a surname directory ,
a list of first names ,
a directory of places , and
a directory of professions and functions .

Renaming entries

You can rename surnames, first names, places and professions by selecting the Rename option from the name's context menu .

This process changes all instances of the name for all individuals in the database simultaneously. Changing a name to one that already exists will take longer.

This can, for example, serve to standardize spellings.

An alternative to standardizing surnames through renaming is the use of standardized names .
