Russians still do it .... man is Romanov and woman is Romanova. I kind of like it. My great grandmother was a Swede and her surname was Andersdotter --- while her brother's surname was Anderson! That surely makes it clear!

I also have some records from the Rheinland where the woman has "en" added to her surname. Then one instance of a male in that family having "er" added to his. Was that a mistake?

We have sunshine and an incredibly lush and beautiful blanket of snow in Chicago this morning!
