Although I have a copy of my own, I sometimes have others enquire about where to obtain one. As you might guess, I have a different opinion on the "correct" spelling of "Broad(d)us." Actually, in my own branch of the family we have wavered and forth between the number of "d's" to use. I've always used one, which has saved me an immense amount of labor when one calculates how much time I would have used in 66 years to write the extra "d" each time. Anyway, as you have pointed out, no matter whether one spells it "Broaddus" or "Broadus," it is still an incorrect spelling of Broadhurst." Ed Broadus
