Re: Name update #116
Thanks for all your work!I have a question on one of the updated surnames.What's the reason for adding Kazloŭ, Kazlova, Kazlow as Belarusian forms of Ivanov, if Ivanov means "son of Ivan" (Russian form of Iohannes, "Yahweh is gracious")
and Kazloŭ is derived from Belarusian казёл (kaziol) meaning "male goat"?My PNL http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/111792

This is a mistake. There was an errant connection between Kazlow and Ivan. Unfortunately this sort of error can't be easily fixed without regenerating all the relations since it affects so many names. I'll do an update sooner rather than later to correct this.

Thank you for the clarification, Mike.Also, I've noticed that the pronunciation of the surnames Volkov and Volkova is listed incorrectly. In fact, the stress in them falls on the first syllable.
