| In addition, Surname spelling has evolved over centuries and until the 20th century, the spelling of a surname was not fixed. Before then it was not unusual to see the same person�s surname spelled in many different ways across many different records. In the 1800�s and before, when many people were illiterate, clerks, officials and priests wrote names as they heard the name pronounced. This often led to different spellings for the same name. (Example: Patrick and Patrik.) Spelling continued to evolve until the 20th century. Therefore, as you are looking for your surname in history, it is very important to check out spelling variations.
Never assume that a surname even your very own, was always spelled the way it is spelled today by you and your family. In addition, the origin of your surname might surprise you since some people from Ireland can sometimes have an Anglo-Saxon name when they thought it was a Celtic or Gaelic name. |
