Uncapitalize Surnames


Merv

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I see there is an option for capitalizing (uppercase) surnames on import but there doesn't seem to be an option to un-capitalize (lowercase) surnames on import. Or is there a facility on TNG where we can edit surnames quickly and easily.

I am wanting to import a ged com with around 5000 individuals that has a mixture of both formats. I prefer that the surnames are displayed the way they are normally written (un-capitalized).

Thanks in advance, Merv

To clarify... I am wanting to convert surnames that are currently in ALL CAPS format to Initial Caps format.

Merv,

Did the workaround ever materialize?  For some reason most of my surnames are not capitalized, which is my preference, but I have one line of a few hundred people where the surnames are all capitalized.  I would like it to be consistent.  Thanks.

Hi Carl,

Yes it worked a charm. I needed to uncapitalize a file with 4000+ names. I think the correct terminology is "Initial capitalization of surnames", but you get my drift.
