I'm not sure of the correct spelling of a name how do I find possible spellings?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Use your imagination, and say the name out loud. How would someone spell it, if they only had a 5th grade education?
If you know the right place to be looking, read the document if possible, instead of relying on search engines. The alternate spelling can be right in front of you, but the computer is geared to exact matches.
And... there is no correct/ incorrect spelling in genealogy. Your goal is to find the person and the relationship. What is "right" today is not always what was "right" 100 yrs ago, nor is it always the ancestor who created the record.
