I finally found it... surnames are stored in the profile feild of the character_ table
but it is binary/hexidecimal and im working (with limited knowledge) on how to extract/edit the information.
Though I already provided you w/ a solution im going to try... and do some work with titles, thats something I never had and live and I really want it in my emulator
I'll keep everyone posted... I'll probably create a thread if...no when I figure it out.

P.S. if anyone knows anything or wants to "donate" to my knowledge just pm me.
