I'm busy typing up a name list of those who died at this camp. I was thinking of adding a link to A B C etc surnames. I will need some help with setting up these links because I'm not sure how to do that.
Now I need some advice.
1. How to record the surnames?
e.g. BOTHA or Botha? Rensburg v or van Rensburg or Rensburg J v or Janse van Rensburg
2. If it says Botha Johannes and Martha do I list them like that or do I list them individually?
This is quite a huge task I set myself out to do and would like your input.

On Geni we use small letters i.e Botha, so if you want people to copy and paste from your database to Geni then I would stick to that, If you are not expecting that to happen then BOTHA in caps is more traditional..

I would say its: van Rensburg, and Janse van Rensburg

I would list Johannes and Martha separately...

More input welcome
