Person (name)—given name sequence number, code N

Comments

Guide for use:

To be used in conjunction with Given name.
Example: Mary Georgina Smith

In the example above 'Mary' would have a given name sequence number of 1 and 'Georgina' would have a given name sequence number of 2.

Example: Jean Claude Marcel Moreaux

If the person has recorded a single given name as more than one word, displaying spaces in between the words(e.g. Jean Claude), their given names are recorded in data collection systems in the same way (i.e. Jean Claude is one given name and Marcel is another given name). ‘Jean Claude’ would have a Given name sequence number of ‘1’ and ‘Marcel’ would have a Given name sequence number of ‘2’.
