You probably have at least one person on your Twile Family Tree who was (or is) known by a name different to their given name. For example, my grandmother was given the name Dorothy as a child, but was known as Joan all of her life.
Previously, there was no way to enter these “known as” names in Twile, but we’ve now filled that gap.
To add an alias name for somebody on your Twile family tree:
- Move your mouse over them on the tree
- Click ‘Profile’
- Click on their name (near the top)
- Enter a value in the “known as” field, alongside their first name
- Click ‘Save’
- Now their alias name will be displayed anywhere you see that person in the tree or timeline
This has always been a much-requested feature in Twile, so we’re really glad to finally have it in there for you. Please add a comment below to let us know what you think.
