    On this profile, this person has three mothers listed. Two of them have "Gerberga" as the first name and one has it as the last name and has a blank first name:

    http://www.geni.com/people/-Gerberga/6000000000966157341

    When the first name is blank, there is no text to click on:

    a href="/people/-Gerberga/6000000000966157341" rel="friend"></a

    Sorry, I had to mutilate the HTML in order to get the forum to display it.

    Erin,
    you can get around that, by clicking on the view-list link. They are displayed properly there. The view list will also often show you links to profiles that are outside your Family Group.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We used to display "no name" in these cases, but it was accidentally reverted in our last release. It'll be fixed soon.

    Mike, would you guys consider displaying the middle name or surname if it exists? That would be more helpful than "No Name."

    I'm not sure if we're checking middle name but I'm pretty sure we display the last name instead of "No name," if it exists. Are you seeing something different?

    I tend to use "?" as a first name if I don't know it!
