In the following article: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-to-enter-names-in-family-tree,

does “Avoid names with initials only” mean that if all I know from sources is for example: Santra A Peterson, I should not include the “A”?

    @MatthewHill45

    Thank you for posting your question in the Community.

    The name, Santra A Peterson is totally acceptable. The issue would be if you only had initials for the entire name.

    Best wishes.
