ABOUT - Tab

This is my first time here.

I really like the About tab - summary - It is normally great except for when it provides erroneous information.

The example - shows the "first name Graf" which translates it to other languages. Except a German speaking person told me that the name actually translates to COUNT as a title.

It also scanned the word VON - which a person native to the Netherlands says it means "FROM" such as descended from. I don't know what Von means in German, but I suspect my Netherlands friend might be closer to the fact.

-- Disclaimer --

I am not a genealogist, just a normal person. Perhaps someone could look more closely at the computer generated algorithm assistant and do some brainstorming about making this more accurate. Or just say: "possible interpretations", just include the words "count", and "from" in the possibilities, which may be more likely, than the suggestions provided.

Also, this suggestion tool also did not like attachment of a PDF file, which I find a bit odd, nowadays. I attempted to attach the printout .pdf of the Specific person as the reference rather than listing the information below.
