NAMES:

In an attempt to provide search flexibility, we will try to explore spelling variations

for persons mentioned in the documents.

When we can, we will also list the married names of the ladies as well as their maiden, and vice versa.

We will try to correlate nick-names where possible.

You may see several variations for, e.g.    Boon Jehu...Jehue,  Boon Siney...Sinah, etc.

The referral in the web page  notes may not be what is in the text, for example "grandfather" in the text may be

indexed as "Albert Jean", or "Thomas Mansfield"  Hopefully, tfhe master index under development will have both inferred name, and the page text.
