Female surname differs from male's and Middle name depends on father’s first name checkboxes are used when creating a new person. For example, when you create a son to a woman, and the father of this son is not known, Agelong Tree leaves the son's surname empty if Female surname differs from male's is checked and vice versa, Agelong Tree puts the mother's surname if the option is not checked. If Middle name depends on father’s first name is checked, it works like this: when you create a son or a daughter, Agelong Tree looks for persons of the same sex whose father has the same name and if it finds one, his/her middle name is used as an example of the middle name for the person that is being created. Surnames and middle names can be corrected manually if necessary.

Tab Dates contains settings of the dates format.
