Making a New Person from Source Linker with Dutch OpenArchives Record

LegacyUser

Jordi Kloosterboer said: In a Dutch full name, they have a what is called a "tussenvoegsel" which is the "van de," "de," "ter" etc in the full name between the first names and the last name. In FamilySearch these go within the "Last Name" box. For example, Johan de Weerd would have "Johan" in the "First Name" box and "de Weerd" in the "Last Name" box.
I am thinking that the source-linker-people-maker does not understand this. So, as shown in the picture, Gerhardus van Werven auto-populates as Gerhardus Werven (missing the tussenvoesgsel) instead of Gerhardus van Werven.
Please fix this so that the tussenvoegsel part is put withing the surname/last name part of the source-linker-people-adder.
I know I can easily add "van" in the "Last Name" box, but this defeats the purpose of auto-populate.

I am guessing because OpenArchives (where you get the data from in this collection) is a Dutch website, they differentiate between last name and the tussenvoegsel and the FamilySearch programming does not look at that because the programmer was English speaking.

Thank you. After RootsTeck I have been wondering if I was to go back and put the tussenvoegsel in the Ser part of Family Search or other information. So thank you

Hm. This may be just too regional and variable for automation. There are so many patterns. The "dit", "van" and "von" distinct from "Van" and "Von", these whether separate or American-style glued onto the surname as in Vanderhoff. Also "von und zu". . .
