Father's Surname, when adding Father

Post by stewartrb »

I understand that when I add a child, the father's surname is automatically provided as an option.

I don't understand why when I add a father, that the father's name is not automatically provided, nor is there an option to check to make this happen.

I will always be finding parents, particularly fathers, of my ancestors. When I click the 'Add Father' on the focus page, (or elsewhere I imagine), it would be nice to have the Father's surname also auto-populate there too.
