Some names just seem to have more spelling variants that do others. Remember that vowels sometimes can be interchanged with each other, some letters can be misinterpreted, some clerks did not care, and some ancestors didn’t either. Keep a list of variant spellings and transcriptions for your names of interest. And remember that spelling variants are different from transcription variations.
