Different Spelling

Question

In my search for sources from FamilySearch.org I have been coming across differences in Last Name spellings. The names in my watchlist are spelled Atland. All records I am coming across are spelled Altland. How am I to handle this.

Comments

I try to search with ATLAND and find nothing on the person I am trying to find. I use ALTLAND and get information.

Answer 1

Truly, I think these are two different surnames but according to the sources listed, especially her death notice and tombstone, it seems to be ALTLAND.

I would add that spelling as her "other last name" until the profile manager changes it.

I am the profile manager. I was checking to see what should be done.

Do the familysearch sources include images?

There is one image out of three. One is Find-A-Grave, link only. Another is Social Security Death Index, No image. The third is a marriage certificate with image, husbands name is spelled ALTLAND.
