Facts and Tips
Towns, cities and counties have changed names over time. Check a Geographical and Historical Dictionary or a Gazetteer.
[Migration]
Check original records whenever possible.
[Basic Genealogy]
When it comes to spelling variations, be creative. Often clerks and government officials were unable to correctly record the names given them by unschooled immigrants not familiar with languages used in their port of entry. The surname was written down as the official heard it and the immigrant accepted that as the official American rendering of his name.
