I don't think it was changed, but often misspelled because of how it sounds. I'm not sure we're talking about the same John Vendt, but it appears both his parents were born in Germany. And he was born in the 1870s. He would be my Great Grandfather. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
