So many of our ancestors could not read & write, so we don't really know the correct spelling they may have used. Contemporanious records like the census often have spelling errors because, for instance, German names were written by an English only speaker & how he interpreted what he heard the person say. Our ancestors did not have identification cards to carry around like we do today :)
