Maybe I'm feeling particularly stupid this morning, but I've got a few people on my (fictional) family tree that have either changed their names or taken-up aliases. I was hoping to use the middle name input to note their new names, however I can't seem to find it. I remember there being one, there is an option in one of the drop downs to show middle names, I just can't seem to find it. Any advice for someone with far too little sleep?

Thanks,

Alex

Know the feeling! Just add them to the 'First names' box, and choose 'Show middle names'. We should probably make this clearer.

in the first name box, type their first and middle name with a space between, then select the show middle name bar at the bottom
