NAME CHANGES
Spelling was inconsequential to the populous until the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Family names with slight variations made no difference. For instance, the names Alcock, Alcok, Allcock, Allcocke, and Alcocke were understood to be the same; likewise, Eleanor, Eleanore, Elenor, and Elenore were interchangeable.

William Shakespeare spelled his name several different ways. Most commonly; Shackspere, Shakespeer, Shakespear, Shacespere, and Shackespeare.

Immigration and Name Changes
Immigration was also a name-changer. The Americanizing of names was common. To better fit in to society, find suitable employment, and/or hide from hate groups; our ancestors sometimes altered their names. Examples are: a French family changing their name from Boullier to the English translation of Butler, or an Eastern European family changing their surname from Sobieski to Sobi.
