Hi Michael, Always pleased to be coorected. Re your previous email. You could start another clan war mixing MacLean's with MacLaine's. I think you have taken my point that by not providing automatic alternatives a researcher could miss the very person they are looking for because as far as they are concerned they are using the correct spelling.

Ian I knew you were going to mention the MacLeans/MacLaines :) Many MacLeans got the latter spelling too (Census, BDMs) However, I fully understand your reasoning and might consider something at this end Michael www.mullfamilies.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Phillips" <mullgenealogy@gmail.com> To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, September 16, 2013 11:46 AM Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] Census > Hi Michael, > > Always pleased to be coorected. > > Re your previous email.
