Collection methods: | This data element should be used in conjunction with the data element Person—given name, text X[X(39)]. 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 (for example, Jean Claude), their given names are recorded in data collection systems in the same way (that is, Jean is one given name, Claude is another given name and Marcel is another given name). ‘Jean’ would have a given name sequence number of ‘1’, 'Claude' would have a given name sequence number of '2', and ‘Marcel’ would have a given name sequence number of ‘3’. Example: Anne Marie Walker If a person identifies their first name as being a composite word, both parts should be recorded under the first given name (rather than the first and second given name). If ‘Anne Marie Walker’ notes her preferred given name to be ‘Anne Marie’, then ‘Anne Marie’ would have a given sequence number of '1'. |
