My name today is spelled Rhoads.My ancestors in England in 1520 had their name chiseled to the front of their castle passageway.It was spelled Rodes.When their descendents migrated to the U.S., the immigration person apparently spelled it as it sounded because they were probably illiterate.It then changed to Rote.One of the descendents then found out his uncle who got here before him said the name was now spelled Rhoads.So there it is.And today wherever I go everyone wants to spell it Rhodes.Good Luckā¦
