Thanks to all that have replied. I should have clarified a bit. The name change from CICHANTEK to CHICANTEK is not only a misspelling but was actually changed by some in the family tree it seems upon coming to US as their actual name spelling once arrived but actually was CICHANTEK in Poland. Just wondering if somone misspelled it from the get go and not knowing english well the family just kept using the wrong variation on everything from that point? There is now a possible part of the family tree that uses the misspelling CHICANTEK. Being that it is such a rare name in both Poland and US and the fact that I have some documented reasons to believe the family line is one in the same how would you all suggest I incorporate this into my family tree? With both spelling as they are after the change in US with notes attached explaining or ?
