I've tried an old version of your GenoPro program. I find it a very useful tool, but in Spain we have a first last name and a second last name, it is, two family names. We take the first one from our father and the second from our mother.
The problem is, in the Family Wizard of the version I tried didn't allow me to use both family names they way we do it here in Spain, though you could "cheat" the program and use the first family name as a middle name.
I don't know whether you've already solved the problem in the latest versions. I think it's the only problem I had using your program.
I'm not really interested in buying a copy, it's just a piece of advice I'd like to tell you, I insist, in case you didn't solve the problem.

GenoPro 2007 allows you to reverse the order of the names.  See screenshot at http://support.genopro.com/Topic20774-60-1.aspx

By the way, GenoPro 2007 is available in Spanish.

The alternatives available do not fits well...

What we need is:

First Name: Carlos

Middle Name: Alberto

Last Name: Campos (Father last name)

Second Last Name: Dominguez (Mother last name)

Display as: Carlos Alberto Campos Dominguez without adding () or - between both surnames     Cool

Next version of GenoPro will allow the user to specify custom templates for name formatting.

A sense of déjà vu - I remember that was an option in at least some of the betas - see this post. At some point the choices must have been hard coded.
