That's interesting ... I never thought of adding capitalization
versions directly in the Surname database. You are right! While the
individual information form won't allow a new capitalization for an
already existing spelling (even if you have "Don't change what I
enter" set), the master list allows you to create multiple
capitalization schemes of the same spelling. Interesting indeed ...

I just entered O'DELL and O'Dell and O'dell in the master surname list.
It accepted all and allows entry of all. You must have Legacy set
to not change what you enter and NOT to display surname in upper
case. You seem to have to enter the variations directly into the
master surname list and when you enter the name you must click the
down arrow and select the variation you desire for the person in question.
It appears that, with a little work, you can have it both ways.
