Hi Jesse, Since Ancestry's home base is in Utah, they are probably going to go by the American standard of doing things.
I can't remember all the genealogy programs at the moment, but some of them have an option to assign the father's surname or to turn that feature off. You might check to see if Ancestry has that option. Cheri -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
