Re: Combination of Letters/Numbers After A Surname
Are you talking about something like:
Albert Hatchett Sr. Albert Hatchett Jr. Albert Hatchett III Albet Hatchett 3rd
and such?
They are post nominal suffixes to help distinguish one person from another.

Re: Combination of Letters/Numbers After A Surname
Thanks for responding . No, I'm referring to something like this after a surname......Smith...Bb-c6??
Do you know what it might mean if both parents and child have numbers like these following their names'?

If you are seeing that in a Family Tree it is probably some numbering system the tree owner is using.
If you are seeing it on a document it would depend on what type of document and the jurisdiction of the issuing agency.
