When I began pursuing my genealogy, I quickly learned that the spellings of names was very inconsistent to say the least. I began keeping a log of the spelling variations I would find for each surname. I would share some of the more unusual spellings with anyone within earshot.
It would appear someone has been listening!
Recently one of the children was filling out a form asking for your mother’s maiden name. My child looked up and asked “Which spelling should I use? One “t” or two?”
Don’t you love it when you find out you are not background noise? Glad to hear the kids are taking it in!
Awesome!
I’m still hoping that someday one of my brood will start paying attention!
