I handle name variations the same way as Ron does.

Sorry, Jane, but I do not understand your problem here. I have the
same situation with a family called "Heyes" up to the late 19c and
"Hayes" thereafter.
I entered the surname as Heyes until it changed and then entered
Hayes. This did mean that sometimes a child had a different name from
the parent, and if both were used by the same person then I used the
AKAs.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Changing surname
I have a line that started out as having the surname Peter. Somewhere
prior to today, it became Peters. Is there a way to have it as Peter
up to a certain point and then convert it to Peters in later generations?
