How to have multiple scripts in a name?

William29564

If I want to give a person's name as being in a language other than those with name templates, but not using the Latin alphabet, but also having the Latinization underneath that like in other non-Latin name templates, what should I do? Examples could include various Indian scripts or the Amharic script.

Let me know if my wording doesn't make sense; I can probably explain it differently.

@William29564 , The option to include a script version of the name along with the Latinized version of the name is only available for the name templates that FamilySearch has specifically created that way.

So you have two options as I see it:

• Make a request to FamilySearch that they add name templates for the scripts you are interested in.
• Use the Other name template to enter the version of the name in the script, then use an alternate name to enter the Latinized version of the name. Those two name entries won't be tightly connected, but that's the best you can do for unsupported scripts.
