*I try to break up the names into the the nearest syllables. Often, my name is pronounced as "corn cal" for some reason. I tell people to pronounce it as if they were saying to independent words together. I suggest they pronounce it as: Car (as in automobile) and the word "kneel."
Car - kneel, and they have it! Would this approach work for you? Or were you interested in recording sound into Legacy? **Thank you. **Robert* *Genealogy without documentation is mythology!
