Holand,
As someone with a Mc surname, I obviously have thoughts on this.
I always write my name McGlone, but my dad often writes his as Mc
Glone, and just as often McGlone (my grandfather was registered on his
baptismal cert as Maglone, but that's another matter)!
There's no definitive standard
WOW! I just learned another neat Legacy trick. Thanks Dave.
I have several different spellings of Vanderberg (Vanderborg.
Vandenburg etc) that I would like to sort under one spelling to make
it easier to find duplicates etc.
I realize that names should be entered as spelled, but with so many

I am amazed, I would have said that inserting a space between Mc or Mac

It looks like I have some work to do. Our local genealogical group
(Summit County, Ohio, USA) has put together an Excel spreadsheet of all known
veterans buried in Summit County cemeteries. I took on the task of
keeping it up-to-date and going through all of the entries

Of course, there will be other Mc's besides McDonalds. So maybe you want to
search and replace Mc with Mc and Mac with Mac. (But I'd want to
check that process one by one probably.)

Howland,
It should be easy enough for you to change, using SearchSearch and Replace.

I believe the dash indicates Mac. As for Spaces, I am chicken, I find

Well, as someone with a Maiden Name that starts with Mc - here is my rant.

I personally always hated it when someone put a space in my name. Drove me
crazy! I also hated it if people got the capitalization wrong. Even if
