Anybody please help. I asked before TP but they didnt bother to help.

How can I make my greek characters names to appear in the main List of Last Names.

I assume you mean names in the "top surnames" box as on the home page. If so, in edit mode" go to "write introduction" and scroll down to "list of last names" and make sure that it is not set under "hidden". I cannot think of any other explanation after looking at your site.

Appears not what I suggested. I have just scrolled down further on your home page and I see the top surname list appears lower down.

Hi Steven, do not quite understand what you mean.

Screen Shot below shows your

"greek characters names to appear in the main List of Last Names."

In Main List.

.

Do you mean that you would like tis LIST at top of your page?

If so you have to go to EDIT and under HOME you will see Customize. Click on this, and you can adjust your Home Page as you wish..

As I mentioned I do not really know what you are askjing

All the best

Les and Alan firs of all THANK you very much for helping.

Les you are right I did not explain well what is the problem.

In order to make the greek names shown in the “List of Last Names” and considering that with the UTF encoding even the common English-Greek characters like A B E Z H I K M N O T Y are different, I switch to latin in my key bord for the first letter of that names. Thats why you see this names in the list (your screen shot). But even so there are 10 more letters that they dont show in the list and for those there is no trick to do. Those ones Γ Δ Θ Λ Ξ Π Σ Φ Ψ Ω.

On the other hand the Find is function very well. (pict)

What I wish is that in the List of Last Names would appear 2 set of letters. One for Latin and one for Greek. (pict) I suppose that this problem is even worst for other languages like Asian, Russian, etc.

Good Morning Sreven, I thought that this may have been the case.

I supposed it is difficult for any Family Tree program, to keep up with all languages, and obviously we are only concerned with our own..

Even Latin is beyond me, as keeping up with my own language WELSH is difficult on times . Lots of this is a mixture of English and Welsh

Bore da a chael diwrnod braf o Sunny Cymru

Good Morning and have a nice day from Sunny Wales

All the best

Hi Steven, yes Google translate is a boon.

Thought that Athens would have the sun now.
