Holand,
As someone with a Mc surname, I obviously have thoughts on this.
I always write my name McGlone, but my dad often writes his as Mc
Glone, and just as often McGlone (my grandfather was registered on his
baptismal cert as Maglone, but that's another matter)!
There's no definitive standard

WOW! I just learned another neat Legacy trick. Thanks Dave.
I have several different spellings of Vanderberg (Vanderborg.
Vandenburg etc) that I would like to sort under one spelling to make
it easier to find duplicates etc.
I realize that names should be entered as spelled, but with so many
vari
on the certificate.
The thinking being your name is YOU. Forget what others expect.

It should be easy enough for you to change, using Search>Search and Replace.

a person spells their name and pronounces their name is the is the correct
way to spell and pronounce that individual's name.

NO!! Not in a Legacy database.
No matter how many there are there is only one Master Surname entry
for each spelling. So there in onl
rting, would it cause a problem?

Why is Search & Replace even being suggested!?

Of course, there will be other Mc's besides McDonalds. So maybe you want to
search and replace "Mc " with "Mc" and "Mac " with "Mac". (But I'd want to
check that process one by one probably.)

I disagree with Mary Slawson on this one (I have her book and I like it).
People who have a Mc last name do not put a space when they write it.

I am amazed, I would have said that inserting a space between Mc or Mac
and the rest of the name was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

Well, as someone with a Maiden Name that starts with Mc - here is my rant.
(ignore if you like.)
I personally always hated it when someone put a space in my name. Drove me
crazy! I also hated it if people got the capitalization wrong. Even if
someone was doing all-caps, I would do that c littl
aka" discussion, but it's
the way I do it.

On Thu,
What's the standard for entering surnames that begin with "Mc".. leave a
space or not? For example, "Mc Dowell" or "McDowell"...? In looking for ALL
CAPS in the Surname list, I discovered I have entered the "Mc" names both ways.
Thanks,
