An example of autofill that drives me nuts -- I have typed in the name Louise. When I then type in Louis, it fills in Louise. Several times I've had to go back and edit my entries due to this kind of error. Please tell me I can disable it.

That's your browser doing that, not WikiTree, so you should be able to disable it. What browser are you using?
