Dickson/Deekson Breakthrough
I have been searching Canadian records for quite a while with many roadblocks (Dickson, Dixon, etc) and only today discovered that certain of my Dickson/Dixon ancestors were transcribed as "DEEKSON" and even "DEEMSON" due to the clear but somewhat odd shape of the "D" on the record. I also found what appeared to be "DICSON" where the record should have been "DIXON", again due to the hand of the writer of the record.
After working with ROBISON/ROBINSON/ROBERTSON et al for a few years, I found this DICKSON anomaly to be interesting and thought I'd pass it along!
