I think it was just a matter of the writing at the time and who was recording it. You wouldn't believe the messes that are made of some of these names. I usually go with what the majority of the records say, and remember to put lots of notes to myself about the different spellings. After awhile, when you get to really "know" these people, it will become old hand knowing the real differences. Dreama
