Her name is Lily MaGill...

Im not spelling Magill right for me to add her as my friend.

Someone please post suggestions.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I see why spelling would be a problem for you. Just above the text box on the right is a spell checker.

Genealogy is about researching dead ancestors. We would more likely have the opposite dilemma, how to pronounce a name we've found spelled various ways.
