Thanks Cindy for the link to this variant spelling group. I have already
found some brick wall names. Karen

Subject: [INCASS] Creative surname spellings
Can't find your ancestor? The problem may be with the spelling.
If you're looking for creative/variant spellings for the surnames of
your ancestors, go to:
http://www.imagepartners.co.uk/Thesaurus/Search.aspx
and type in the surname of interest. Surnames I checked offered a
number
of spellings, ones I had not ever considered. These spelling variations
should be helpful when looking for ancestors on sites that don't offer
soundex searches.
