    @George Ezell Legge I've been doing initials as well because Spanish/Portuguese often have two given names and two surnames. The initials will help searchers to find their ancestors. I've also noted that this project highlights señor and señora/señorita, and Catholic church positions like Mons. and Fray plus some others with which I am not familiar. I did not see specific Project Instructions regarding this but since they are consistently highlighted I assumed they were required/requested.

    @George Ezell Legge I hope the video helped you determine whether to include initials in Quick Name Review. The rule of thumb is that if the initial is part of the name, then it should be included in the name. Here is a help article that might help: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/help-with-quick-name-review
