So... in capital letters, now?

Bosch said: There has been a change in protocols and now we have to add surnames in FamilyTree in capital letters as it is doing de program?

If that is FS intention, please, indicate it clearly. If it is an accident, correct it, please.

JimGreene said: No change. Do not Capitalize surnames, that was an old and now defunct standard. Some legacy records, and legacy record-keepers still let it creep in. As Jordi mentions, it is helpful to change them to non-caps when they appear.
Thank you

Amy Archibald said: Jim, this is a bug via SourceLinker. I've noticed it the past week. Every time I create a new person via SourceLinker, it is created the surname in all caps. Will you pass it along to the engineering team. Thanks!

Christopher Padgett said: I posted on this a few weeks ago. I've started seeing it in almost every record that comes to me for Kentucky (births, marriages, deaths) and even Find-A-Grave hints. It started a few weeks ago and I just stopped working hints as it shows up on every hint I process. I have to go in manually and change the spelling of the surname back to lower case, so I just figured I'd stop working hints until they fix it or there is an update. It's the strangest thing.
