Particles
GeneWeb manages particles.
When searching for a person, one can omit the particle.
When surnames are sorted, the particle is not taken into account and placed at the end of the surname as in Nemours (de)
.
The list of particles taken into account are stored in a file particles.txt
which must be located within the bases/my_mase.gwb
folder.
The default list of particles is (note the presence of "_" to indicate a space) (Note also the multiplicity of apostrophes!! ("‘" is missing today)):
