      W,

      Are you running the Index or MySQL version?
      Is this 2.51.3?
      Do you get any errors that pop on screen?

      Thanks
      John (not THE John)

      Name:
         Given Name: George
         Surname: FINLAY
      Sex: Male

      My site shows the name twice, it does not show the  given name or surname fields.

      Can you post the gedcom record for one of the individuals who is not displaying correctly?
      You can use the "View GEDCOM record" sublink on the individual page to get this.

      W,

      Your gedcom record is different than mine.  I too have NAME, but the GIVN value is missing on yours.  Below is the output of one of my records. 

      0 @I483@ INDI
      1 NAME Alice Ann /Davis/
      2 GIVN Alice Ann
      2 SURN Davis
      1 SEX F
      1 BIRT
      2 DATE 21 Jun 1866
      2 PLAC Salt Lake City, Utah

      2 DATE 17 Nov 1946
      2 PLAC Ogden, Weber, Utah
      1 EVEN

      I would first check your export to Gedcom settings.  What database prog are you using?

      I'm using Reunion genealogy program for the Mac.  I emailed the company and they said the program does not include GIVN and SURN in the gedcom.

      I have installed other php scripts on my site, so I have experience in cutting and pasting code, and making some minor changes, but I don't know how to write code from scratch. 

      I was scanning through the  phpgedview code, and it looks like if I don't have the given and surname field, it will not display the other name fields (suffix, nickname, etc)? What modifications can I make to the code, so that I can grab all other name fields that I do have?

      Thanks to both Johns for helping out.

      Most programs would export like this:

      1 NAME George /EASON/ jr
      2 NSFX jr

      But since
      1 NAME George /EASON/
      2 NSFX jr
      is a valid gedcom format I will try to fix this for you in the next version.
