VARIANT SPELLINGS of GERMAN NAMES

As the story goes, English speaking clerks, the writers of public records, spelled the German names by what they heard from the German speaking pubic. The public records are full of variant spellings of a single name, sometime differently in the same record. This list is a guide, and by no means  meant to be a final list,  is alphabetical and only contains names found in this genealogy.
