A computer program for the genealogy community which is intended to assist you in determining a full surname from only a part of the surname. This software is intended for use when you have a partial surname from a document that is hard to read or a partial surname from reading a tombstone. It would also be good for determining surnames from old paintings. When you put in the characters you can figure out and click Search, the program will create a list of matching surnames. This software also helps you to search the web for information on the surnames it suggests.
