posessive case

If a person's name (surname) ends in -s, is it necessary to put another -s after apostroph?

Re: posessive case

You basically have choice. (You don't get too many of those in grammar, so enjoy this one.)

It's Jones' car or Jones's car.

See: possessive case of singular nouns ending in s. (It's about half way down the page.)
