- Family Name - This field is used to build the Author Directory. When an author is added to the directory, the software parses the canonical name to determine the author's last name. For example, Robert Heinlein = Heinlein; L. E. Modesitt, Jr. = Modesitt. There are cases where the automated parsing fails, for example, R. Garcia y Robertson should be filed in the directory under "Garcia," not "Robertson." Similarly, Ursula`K. Le Guin should be filed under "Le Guin", not "Guin". The Family Name field allows the editor to supply the correct family name in these instances. The field should contain the only family name (surname) of the canonical name. This field is significant when the surname contains spaces (as in "Le Guin" or "Garcia y Robertson"), or is not the last element of the name (as in some Asian names).
