[Genealib] Surname Variations 4-H

[Jim Holland]

   I know that surname variations are difficult to deal with, but many
genealogy programs will allow you to have a different spelling from
father to son, etc. In my community in rural Cleveland County, North
Carolina, I discovered two spellings of Greene/Green among living family
members. In this case I was told that one family wanted to make sure
that their surname was distinguishable from the color "green." 

 

   I don't know if this is any help or not, but I thought I'd pass it
along anyway.
