In FTM the name appears as ABRAHAM VAN HOESEN(located in the first name field) VAN HOOSAN(located in the surname field). When I imported it to TMG it now appears as ABRAHAM VAN HOESEN VAN in the Given Name field and HOOSAN in the surname field. That is incorrect. The correct surname should be VAN HOOSAN and for some reason TMG is moving the VAN to the given name field.
