[Gramps-devel] Surname prefix support in gramps2 CVS

[Don A. <dal...@us...>]

I've checked into CVS the changes for surname prefix for the 0.9.0pre
series (gramps for gnome 2). The EditPerson and name edit dialogs now
have a "Surname Prefix" field. The information is saved in the database.
Lists are sorted by the Surname, so if the prefix is in the prefix
field, it will not be used for sorting, so you will see:

Marco, Gromit
de Marco, Shaun
Marco, Wallace

If the SPFX field is defined in an imported GEDCOM file, GRAMPS will now
use it to fill in the prefix field. If you select GEDCOM 5.5 as your
GEDCOM export, gramps will use SPFX fields. I don't know of any other
particular genealogy programs that support SPFX. If you know of any,
please let me know so I can configure the GEDCOM exporter to support it.
