Keep a list of all the spelling, transcription, and other variant renderings of your ancestral names in one place. Sort them alphabetically. Keep the list handy. It can be easy to overlook the occasional variant, particularly when querying a database. And if you think there are no variant spellings for a last name, think again. Lee has Leigh and Smith has Smythe.
