I think JoAn misunderstood what I meant to say.We absolutely need to record and maintain the spellings as they were used at the time.The problem with my gg-grandfather is that NO spelling was used consistantly.I've seen 4 different spellings used for his last name, and there is a DIFFERENT forum for 3 of those.
What I was suggesting is that all the DISCUSSION be in one place.It is difficult enough to keep up with all the variations in our name without also having to monitor a dozen different forums while looking for the same family.
So, YES, let's do keep & use the spellings as they were used, but let's also keep everyone talking together in as few PLACES as possible,.
Thanks, Bob.
