I am new to this list and I am still navigating around Legacy and learning all its good points.
I have imported my file from PAF. My question relates to which is the best way to record the different spelling of my ancestors name. Due to illiteracy the name has been spelt different ways depending on who recorded it eg. parish register, census returns. And finally the way my gr grandfather's name was recorded on his birth registration. Going back 2 or 3 generations before that is where the differences occured. Is the name as recorded on the birth record the "main" name and the way is it spelt on other records during his/her life the alternate name or do I use the name I know now and list all the others as alternate names. Also upon reading other emails on this list, I hope that I have been able to convert this email to plain text. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
