Hello:

I'm a total n00b here, having downloaded the program just today, but I like what I see so far. Part of the attraction is the Unicode-ness, which seems rare among the available genealogy programs. Anyway, that feature leads to a question -- in many Slavic languages, as in, I think, Scandinavian ones (at least Icelandic), a brother and sister or even a husband and wife can have surnames that end differently, like -ov and -ova in Russian, for one example. The native speaker recognizes these as "the same". From what I've seen of this program so far, though, it sees them as different, and would consider the two forms as each a unique surname. Is there any way around this?
