Forum Newbie Customers Gamma GenoPro version: 3.0.1.3 Last Login: Tuesday, December 11, 2018 Posts: 2, Visits: 8	I like Genopro's easy and intuitive design and many features! It is really incomparable to other programs. I am using Genopro a lot for families in the Arab world and beyond. Most people in that region use a name chain that consists of at least three names: 1. first name 2. father's name 3. grandfather's name 4. family name 5. tribal name In some instances an individual's grandfather's name or the tribe name are used as family name. For example, Saddam Hussein's full name is as follows: 1. first name: Saddam 2. father's name: `Abd al-Majid 3. grandfather's name: Hussein 4. family name: al-Tikriti Al-Tikriti is not really a clan name, but a toponymic. In order to keep the first name separate, I usually write the father's and grandfather's names in the family name's box, in order for the full name chain to appear in the scheme: 1. Saddam 2. `Abd al-Majid Hussein al-Tikriti But this is not an adequate solution at all. I wonder, is it possible to add two boxes for the father's and grandfather's names? (I am not sure though how to code the father's and grandfather's names in gedcom.) I am faily convinced a feature like this will be a reason for many more people, including scholars, such as anthropologists, all over the world to use and purchase the program! Which suggestions do other users have in this respect? Regards, Robert Tags: arabic, clan, name, patronymics, tribe
