As a quick FYI, this tree is set up to center around Leod McGreggor so all the different ways to view the tree will center on him unless you choose a different family member.

Oh and one more thing! If you do not happen to be familiar with the Spanish way of doing last names my tree might confuse you. In Spain, and other Spanish speaking countries except Argentina, a child inherits two last names. The first is their father’s and the second is their mother’s maiden name. So it looks like this: Uma Lee Barthelet McGreggor.

To elaborate: first name-Uma

middle name-Lee

father’s last name-Barthelet

mother’s maiden name-McGreggor.

To make a connection, this child in an English speaking country would be refered to as Uma Lee Barthelet. And in Spain, or any other Spanish speaking country, you’d find Uma Lee Barthelet McGreggor under Barthelet in the phone book; just as you would anywhere else.

And If that weren’t going against the grain enough there’s more; when a girl gets married it’s common for her not to change either of her last names instead she adds to them by placing a ‘de’ inbetween her name and her husbands FIRST last name. So it would look something like this: Uma Lee Barthelet McGreggor de Nelson.

Still confused? Wiki can help click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish-language_surname

Anywho the reason I do this is because I find it much easier to trace ancestry. Wow you didn’t realize you’d be getting a culture lesson now did you?!
