Further to the subject of mis-spelled surnames. Can anyone suggest possibilities for the surname KNUTH; either variant spellings or typographical errors? Thank you, Bette

I think the N's become H's. Khuth When they transcribe them. -----Original Message----- From: bmcintosh@new.rr.com To: germany-passenger-lists@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 22 Nov 2006 11:29 AM Subject: Re: [G-P-L] Misspelled Names Further to the subject of mis-spelled surnames.

Hello Bette, Have you tried 'Kenuth', Knoot, Noot, Knut or similar? You should know that unlike in English, the German pronounciation of the letter 'H' following the 'T' is silent, in other words so as if it were spelled 'Knut'.

Thanks to all who took the time to suggest possible transcribed spellings of the surname KNUTH. Some of these I have used in past searches, some not. It has always been my habit to use the Soundex field with the idea that this umbrella should cover more , if not all, possibilities; greatly increasing the odds that the desired record will be found. I will continue looking, hope springs eternal....... Bette > Further to the subject of mis-spelled surnames.
