Any Norwegian Geniology nerds in the group? There wasn’t a lot of feedback from the Ancestry/Geniology subs so far.

I am an American struggling with some naming conventions If any of you also do geniology what do you view as best practice for entering in Norwegian names that include location/farm names?

I am worried if I exclude them that perhaps I won’t get all the record hits I otherwise would have. However I see some have First/Middle/Surname in the "First name" entry with Region/Farm name in the Surname slot. Some entries put this info ir the Suffix section. There are seemingly endless Variations of this.

For example Anders Jorgensen Eikeland Vatnebu. The first 2 names Anders Jorgensen are listed as "First name" and Eikeland Vatnebu as "Surname".

Any advice is appreciated! Thank you
