I have both spellings, which was why I created this list with the intention of covering both variations, as I let Rootsweb know. Would you like to combine lists to reach more people, as Speaks and Speakes are the same family? ~ Allison C.

My wife's last name is Speakes and we are trying to research this variation. We are searching for other people with the same spelling. If you have relations with this spelling, please let me know.
