Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The US Census will: http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/name... Go to the LDS 1880, http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/f... enter the name, make sure "Exact Spelling" is NOT checked. They will show you all of the possibilities. Most won't be your family; some might be. Given it is Georgia, not Massachusetts, I'd make sure to use soundex whenever possible. I have a document from Ga that spells the same family "Matthews", "Mathews" and "Mathis" - all one document. |
