<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 11202, member: 33&quot;]Thank you! What I&#039;ve noticed in Burnett research in the past is that usually a certain family will consistently spell it one way or the other. So the difference in spelling seems to indicate that one person or the other did not know how Anna spelled the name. However, related families can also spell it two different ways, in two different branches. </p><p><br /></p><p>They are in two different handwritings. I suspect the one on the back is the earliest (but it doesn&#039;t mean that one is the correct spelling). Really I have to keep both spellings in mind when searching, and not eliminate either. You may know that in genealogical research all spellings are considered when doing searches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
