name suffix is not always included in JSON data

Question

Under some circumstances using the API, the Suffix field is None, and the LongName field does not include the suffix for persons whose name includes a suffix.

If you getAncestors for Swayne-99, whose LongName should be "Samuel Fothergill Swayne II" the LongName correctly includes the suffix and the Suffix field contains "II". If you getAncestors for Swayne-74, his son, the LongName for Swayne-99 is truncated to "Samuel Fothergill Swayne" and the Suffix field is None.
