Plural Possessive of a Surname that does NOT end in 's'.
0 My parents are going into business, our last name is Dittmann, and they want to name their business "Dittmanns' Ahnapee Arts" (Ahnapee being a local township). 02 br
00 Now, since the name is referring to both of them, and it would be posessive, would this above 's-apostrophe' be correct? I've found tons of information on proper nouns that end in 's', but maybe I'm just overthinking this. But I need to be sure because my father will be making a sign! 02 br
00 Thanks for any input. 0-
