[edit] Central Profiles

NB: Be aware that almost all Anglo-Saxon women had very similar names, and these were used more or less interchangeably. Thus the name itself tells you nothing; parents, husbands and children must be reviewed to be sure of identity. Do not merge without checking all connections and sources first.

[edit] Naming Conventions

See generic Naming Conventions page.

• Name as close to original name as possible, language, geography and time period to be taken into consideration
  • Anglo-Saxon names for Anglo-Saxon people (see the FMG-site listed above for info if unsure)
  • Titles usually go in the Last Name field
  • Additional titles in Work with year frame
  • Adjust First Name field to avoid misunderstandings or mistaken identity where necessary, by adding order/number or byname.
  • Maiden names are normally avoided as there were none at the time
  • All names a person is known by in any source listed in Nicknames: bynames (especially in English), additional titles, variations.
