I record all the AKAs with the source. Not only for the sake of people following-up my research, but for myself! There is nothing worse than being "pretty sure" about something, but not being able to find where the information came from! -------------------------------------------- On Thu, 1/9/14, Ed Ladendorf <[email protected]> wrote:
Subject: [LegacyUG] When to use AKAs To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, January 9, 2014, 3:57 AM A direct line ancestor, Heinrich Ladendorf, has been found listed as Henry Lander in the 1860 census. He has also been found listed as H Ladendorff (an extra "F"), Henry Landenderf, etc. on different sources. There are several other variations. Would you list every spelling you find, or just the ones where it is obvious they should be listed, i.e. Henry Lander or Henry Landenderf? Would you also do the same for those who are not direct line? Thanks for any direction. I'm trying to get it right this time.
