Lets keep it simple and use the wording shown in  http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/vol_faq.html#6u .   Using surname rather than name wouldn't make the file appear in the Suspect Report.    However, why reinvent the terminology.   In some instances reinventing the terminoly and/or not inserting the #COMMENT(N) or #THEORY(N) (N = 2 or more) in accordance with http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/vol_faq.html#6u could make the file erronous.   Allan Raymond       From: Evan Smith <evanpsmith@bigpond.com> >To: freebmd-admins@rootsweb.com >Sent: Saturday, 24 March 2012, 23:30 >Subject: Re: Suspect File List > >Jeff - > >I notice you use the term "spouse surname" in this e-mail..
