    3. Jackie, as far as misspelling of names goes, that is a fairly mild one. My particular research has come up with ten different surname spellings - sometimes changing three or four times in one person through their life! As for forenames - it is a real minefield; Jacobina becomes Jakabina, Elizabeth - Betsey - Betsy -Betty - Lillibet - Lily. One of my ancestors who comes from Denmark started off as Vilhelmine and ended up as Minnie on official documents. Good luck! Regards Sarah
