  • Adjust First Name field to avoid misunderstandings or mistaken identity where necessary, by adding order/number or byname.
  • Maiden names are normally avoided as there were none at the time
  • All names a person is known by in any source listed in Nicknames: bynames (especially in English), additional titles, variations.
