David,
I am the list-admin for Canada, Canaday, and Canady.
These were started by RootsWeb as part of the clusters
group. I am also the list-admin for Kennedy. I adopted
these three because they were variants of the Kennedy name.
Most newbies do not know that these are variants of
the same name, and there is some, that I am sure that
these are not variants for. A newbie researching the
Canada surname, may not be interested in Canaday and
Canady. It may be months before they find a connection
to one of the other names, if any at all. This is a
topic that has been discussed on Listowners-L.
I also administer the GenConnect boards for all four list.

Hi Pam,
I just joined all three Canady/Canada/Canaday lists. It seems that these
names are various spellings of the same name. I have seen all three used in
documents about the same family. I have even seen Kenneday/Kennedy used in
our line too. I guess the writers just spelled the name the way they heard
it as most folks couldn't spell?
I am wandering if anyone has suggested combining the name into one rootsweb
list? It would make it easier for us to write only to one list and read
from less lists. I have about ten Rootsweb lists I am monitoring right now.
BTW, are you the list owner for all three lists?
My Henson-L list has about six different spellings and My Payne-L has four
and only one list to write to.
Just wandering and thanks for listening.
Thanks,
David S. Payne
