With other people spelling people's names, you can make quite a collection. Sometimes it's hard to know what was intended. You can't even always count on the tombstone!
ReplyDeleteIt's true. Sometimes it seems like any spelling was acceptable as long as it was close enough to identify the person. We're so careful about being accurate these days and some of our ancestors just make it hard.
