No I don't need a lookup. Samuel recorded both his marriages [and other stuff on the Matthews family] in his Bible. I figure the family spelled better than the officials. <g> They came from Ireland -- so did the Bible. IOWs, altho it was Samuel's Bible it originally came from the Matthews. I just used Sam as an example for the Vital Records Index anyway.
