Hi
How do you lot 'name' your ancestors?
I have started researching a line of family (3x great grandmother's line) and her name - and that of her parents and siblings - changes between Bretton (her marriage), Britton (her birth), Britten (name of father at marriage) and Brittain (sisters name at birth).
I am happy that they are mine and are the same people - but how would you list them in your trees?
Currently I have her as Bretton (because that's the latest spelling) and the others listed as I found them but am aware that this isn't satisfactory as most of the family members have different spelt surnames and maybe I should just take a plump for one spelling and make a note of the various spellings.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Many thanks
Jo
