Bonjour Blaine,

I think the main reason for the different spellings is that for a long time most people didn't know how to read and write. So those few who wrote in the registers and other papers, wrote what they thought and the concerned could not check. I

You probably know that all these different spellings are pronounced exactly the same way in French.

Salut !

Roger
