Enter first and middle name(s) in full.
No abbreviations Further Information
- For the primary name, enter both first and middle name(s) in full, if known.
- If an initial is known rather than a full name, enter it without a period. In the case of multiple initials, enter with a single space between them. Use the same convention for individuals who were given only initials as first names, e.g., R J
- Don't include nicknames in the given name field of the primary name; enter nicknames as alternate names.
- Punctuation and special characters may be used if they are part of the legal name, e.g., Jean-Baptiste, Françoise, Bjørn
- Searches for Jean will find Jean-Baptiste and "Jean Baptiste"; searches for Jean-Baptiste will find "Jean Baptiste", but will not find just "Jean" if the exact checkbox is checked.
- Don't use quotation marks, slashes, parentheses, or square or angle brackets ("",//,(),[],<>) to denote a nickname or AKA.
- If it is clear that an infant died without being named (e.g., a stillbirth or the death record indicates that the infant was unnamed), leave the given name blank.
- If the given name is unknown, leave it blank. Don't enter "Unknown" or any other variation, such as Unk, FNU, etc.
