My mother's surname is Hirtzel. I have documents of known family members that have quite a variety of variations in surnames. For the men, it includes Hirtzel and Hirzel (but not Hirz), and for the women, it includes Hirtzelin and Hirzelin and Hirzin. I understand about the "in" that is added to women's maiden names. I take it that this variation in names is to be expected? And that, when looking for records online, I should include all of these possible variations? Thanks. Paul
