There is a spot in the road near where I grew up called Breckenridge. Consequently that’s how old habits make me spell any location with that name. While searching for a family in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, I had to force myself to use the “i” and not the “e” for the second vowel.

Make certain you are spelling locations and names the way they are written–not the way another place or family spells them or the way you think they should be spelled.
