I have a strange question for those who have researched the WILLIAMS surname. What are some common misspellings or surnames you have seen substituted for Williams in old records - particularly census? I have been looking for documentation on an ancestor for over ten years. I have come to believe that the surname is likely miswritten / misspelled in the census record. Thank you in advance for your reply.
