I have found that native american names often contain, what look like numbers or other characters. Family Search does not allow this. I think that, to be completely acccurate for these families, this has to be allowed. Today I came across a baptism of a Child. Parents were Paul Sotato8né & Anne Ganata8ouinou. Unable to enter information, because numbers not allowed. I do not have native american ancestry, but I like to enter these names when I come across the records, for the use of others, who may have native american ancestors. I also think it is a valuable part of American history, that is missing from Family Search.
