I'm sure there is a standard practice for this, but I'm not sure of it. I have a more recent relative who died in 1917 in Perth, Australia and her surname was spelled McEwan. Scottish Births and Baptisms lists her (and corroborating family members) with the spelling Mcune (as shown: not McCune or other variants). My preference is (within Legacy FT) to record her, and each of her siblings and her father, with the "recent" surname (McEwan) and use the AKA Mcune (eg, Jane Mcune). Is this sensible, or should I use the SBB records' spellings, and only for the individual who died in Western Australia change that to McEwan?
