Anciently, Polynesians were identified by only one name. Later, they began adding surnames. Some people were also given an honorary name by which they were known. Thus, it is possible that our ancestor was known by more than one name, any or all of which may be in the ''IGI. ''For instance, the name ''Tangata Tevita Niumeitolu Olakepa ''could have been submitted as ''Tangata,'' as ''Tangata Niumeitolu'', as ''Tangata Olakepa'', as ''Tangata Tevita Niumeitolu ''or as ''Tangata Tevita Niumeitolu Olakepa. ''<br>'''• If we know more than one name for our ancestor, we can remedy this by searching using each name as a surname.''' | Anciently, Polynesians were identified by only one name.

TempleReady will only search the''IGI ''for the exact place we have listed. If someone else submitted our ancestor, but did not write the place the way we did, it will not recognize it as a duplicate. If they did not provide a place that is recognized by the ''IGI,'' the record would have been placed in the ''World Miscellaneous region ''of the''IGI''. | TempleReady will only search the''IGI ''for the exact place we have listed.
