#62130 : ez/es suffixes in Spanish Surnames

That's mostly right, as the Wikipedia article points out, though, sometimes it just happens to be the spelling of that particular name.
Anyone else think that was a long introduction to a simple question? I mean, if I was going to start teaching a classroom of a predominantly different culture than I had previously been accustomed, what a particular suffix on their last name meant would not be one of my first concerns.
