Christoffersen name/Christopherson?
My Mom's side of the family immigrated from Floda Sweden around 1880 & as far as I knew, the spelling they used of our last name"CHRISTOPHERSON" was the way it was spelled.However I have hit a block in tracing my roots & was wondering if it might be because the swedish spelling is "CHRISTOFFERSEN".Does anyone know if it was common for the name's spelling to be altered to make it more American?Any response would be appreciated.
