Sweden family tables of nobility
In Sweden Nobility family tables are confusing many especially in US, as the name of ther house of nobility is only as a title in Adelsvapen-wiki pages. https://www.adelsvapen.com/genealogi/Adliga_%C3%A4tter
Can you help here in profiles to understand how the last name in nobility is used? Here some Oxenstierna, Kafle, Lagge LH52-T6B GNHW-73R GNC4-RMH LHJF-LZQ 9C4Z-GJY
I'm from Finland and I have used much time to order these family tables already beginning 14xx, but I'm not sure how much is left today after this new wave..
And do you think this family is right? GV3D-8XZ GV3D-ZC9 L6Q8-YH4 K8CN-W8Q
Also patronymic names are not last names and there should be a place of their own for them, like in Geni. They just properly mess up search engine.
Thanks P

and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Swedish_noble_families

The help center article about Scandinavian names has massive problems with over simplifications and down right errors. I always hope no one ever finds it. The one specifically for Norway is even worse. They certainly don't give information about how to enter names for Scandinavian nobility.
One very nice feature in Family Tree is the unlimited Alternate Names. To help out the search engine, I enter the name for someone who used a patronymic and an additional surname at least twice. In the Vitals section I put their full name:
First Name: Jon Hansson, Last Name: Berg
In the Other Information section I put the strictly patronymic form of the name:
First Name: Jon, Last Name: Hansson
The search engine looks at all the names so if the royalty used a variety of names through various times of their history, you can put in every form of the names to insure that no matter what name someone might use to search for them, the right person will be found.

Thank you for responding. I found this posting that was left unanswered and was hoping that someone familiar with Swedish naming issues woul respond. I was also hoping someone could respond to the issue mentioned about the use of search engines.
