I transcribe the record as it is, but always add [sic, and the correct name]. This way those who see the reference will know it was incorrect in the original. Leonard

However she has been transcribed as 'Eily' and 'Emil'. What is standard practice with names that have been transcribed wrongly? AKA does not sound right as she was not also known by these names. Or do I just put in her real name and allow the reader to work out that the source was wrong?
