Could I please have advice from the list re the "correct" transcription of the old double "f" at the beginnining of words and, in particular, names, such as "ffrye" which today would be written as "Fry". To maintain accuracy of transcription - which I suspect to most people means to report, as best as one can, the form and content of old documents - should the 16th and 17th cc "double-f" be shown in transcription as a single letter or as a double? Should "ffry" (and similar) be written today as FFRY or FRY? Or is it of no consequence whichever is chosen as long as one is consistent? Jim Halsey
