[TI] names

[Laura Johnson]

Terry

I record as it was found on the earliest document, the make notations of 
any other spelling variations in my notes. 
For example, I find a death document in 1860 which states the name ad 
DiBella. 

Then much later, I find the marriage document and it states diBella.  I 
then change it to what is on the marriage document as it would be an 
earlier document than the death document.  I make a notation in the 
notes about what the name was recorded as in the death document.

Later, I research the allegati records for the marriage and find the 
baptismal document which states the surname is LoBello.  I change the 
surname to LoBello and add a note about the marriage document spelling.

I was hoping there was a "proper" way to do it, and the recorders just did it incorrectly, like we sometimes misspell names.  I guess as long as I am consistent in my records and don't put a space in between they will be easier to organize.  Thanks for the suggestion.
