Can I write names in another alphabet?

Coming soon

Coming soon: yes, names in any alphabet – Polish, Greek, Russian, Chinese and more. For example, Great-Grandma Zofia and Uncle Nikos can keep their names exactly as they were written. Search will find them in their own letters or in English letters, and A–Z lists sort by the English spelling. A gentle hint will offer "Add an English spelling? It helps the family find her" – it's never compulsory. Add an English spelling in Also known as (or the other way round – either works). If you don't, the tree makes its own rough one behind the scenes.
