That doesn't really answer your question. I think all you can do is type the
suffix after the surname. As to recognizing it do you mean sorting by it? I
don't think you can or really need to. What do you want it for?
I can never understand why people use suffixes like junior or VI as they are
meaningless genealogically and some change as the person ages. Likewise why
would people use prefixes like Dr. or Rev. None of these are on birth
certificates and shouldn't be on marriage or death certificates or census.
It seems to me that all those type of things should be in the notes.
