When indexing the "father's surname" I only type the father's surname but not his given name but when indexing mother's maiden name I type both her given and surname??

    What project are you working on Mary Ann? It is always best to share the batch, or at least state the project to get a good answer.

    Here are the instructions on how to share a batch:
