I'm reviewing course work for an advanced genealogy program, and the instructor insists that surnames be capitalized - a practice I have not seen done recently and had been told was outdated. Is the course work simply outdated or is it a regionalism? The course is based outside of the United States. -Bryna O'Sullivan ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I personally use it mostly when working on a client report so they can easily see the names as they read the report. Otherwise, I rarely use it. Cari A.
