Wife? Children? 3. Who are the parents (and children?) of Eli Floyd BLANKENSHIP m. Brooke ALLEN 6-27-1902 in Woming County, WV?? 4. Are the various spellings of Blankenship (i.e. Blankinship, Blankingship, Blenkinship, etc.) documented as to the origin of those spellings? What IS the proper spelling of the name? I have always thought BLANKENSHIP was the proper name but what proof is there of that other than that being how Ralph first appears to us and the most commonly used spelling??? For the sake of uniformity wouldn't it be easier to change the spellings of all the various branches to reflect BLANKENSHIP and keep a note in the applicable files that the name was spelled differently on census records, etc? Just a few random, late-night thoughts lol. Kay
