<xsd:element name="FamilyName" type="FamilyNameType">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>Contains a non-given name. This is an inherited name
or one representing a family relationship or in some cultural contexts a "Place Name" (where
someone is from). In some cultural contexts, a single family name is typical, while in others
there may be multiple family names.
A "primary" attribute may be used in the case where there are multiple last names.
A family name can have a "prefix," such as Von, De, Van, Al, etc. These can be represented using the
FamilyName "prefix" attribute. Not all implementers may find it necessary to separate prefixes from the
family name itself. Capturing the prefix and FamilyName as discrete fields can become important when
formatting or appearance may vary based on context. For example, in some cultural contexts it may
be common to use a blank space as the delimiter between the prefix and the family name, while in others
a hyphen might be used. Separating the prefix from FamilyName allows such formatting requirements to
be handled flexibly. </xsd:documentation>
