Maori Names

Post by KiwiPeterHill » 26 May 2020 22:44

Can any of the users please tell me how they handle Maori Names in FH?
Do you treat them all as surnames, or something else.??

regards Peter

yes thanks Don. found that site this morning, and registered. But it does not seem to like me at all.
I tried registering again, and it confirmed my user name and email was already there, Have left a message on their facebook page....

Don’t despair.
Some sites send a confirming e-mail, with a link you have to click to confirm your e-mail is correct before allowing you to continue with their site.
Others have a moderator, who has to ‘approve’ your registration for the same reason.

Either case may be preventing you from logging in! In the first case above, check the e-mail hasn’t gone to your spam folder.

yes I am fairly sure I have it all right. Its the strange logon screen I don't get, It looks more like an admin log on screen.
I had no joy posting on facebook, Seems no ones been near that since last year.
