Options -> Customize 3.4 if set to Show Surnames in uppercase DOES NOT change how the data is stored, only how it is displayed.
Curious – for Mc names the c is NOT capitalized. This appears to be intentional, though does not extend to Mac names, de names, la names or le names. Applies to Family View, Pedigree View, Descendant View, Index View, Name List, Marriage List and possibly others. In Chronology View, it seems to only be applied to non-bolded names (this appears to be a bug). It does NOT apply to the Individual Information screen, where surname is displayed as entered/stored. For Reports, there are separate options for displaying surnames in uppercase under Report Options, Format Tab. Options -> Customize 3.3 DOES change how the data is stored. It only affects newly entered data unless you click the Apply button which then changes existing data. This option needs to used with great care.

It may NOT always happen, that is why I never use the All caps for any surname, and there is NO rule that I shall or should, use them.

Hopefully you understand what I am getting about.
