    1. [NYWESTCH] The importance of using spelling variations
    2. Denise Jones
    3. I want to thank Don for all his assistance tracing my Weiderhold line. He has taught me the importance of variations in spelling and it made a difference in what he found to what I found. My Weiderhold's family name has been spelled Wedchoe, Wedhole, possible Pterhold. A Matthew I was searching was found spelled Mather by the census taker. The name George came once as Georg. I have used variations but never thought of these! I felt it was necessary to stress the importance of using several variations on names. I was only using Weiderhod/Wiederhold/Weiderholt. I will definitiely keep this in the back of my mind from now on and want to again thank Don. Denise
