[or-roots] Matney

[James]

This reminds me of talks about the same things back in 1998 ;)
   We always talked about when finding a hit on ftm, see if the contributor is family and write direct.
    I mainly seek direct family, but at times I try to add names on the side lines.

  All

  As has been mentioned the LDS family data is usually not sourced and always needs to be taken with a grain of Salt.

  As for name spellings do not discount any spelling until you check it out completely how a name is spelled depends on

  who is writing the name down, what it sounded like to them and how well educated they were.

  I have been doing some research on my wifes Aumiller family and have even found the name spelled Cubmiller and have one

  Person that swears the name is spelled Aymiller and any other spelling is in error.

  By the way I have five Cooper's in my family but have not researched them most are living and in Cottage Grove

  But were from Polk County also have a Mathey from Switzerland.

  PS: Also beware of the old Broderbund software from when genealogy started getting popular it had a lot

  of errors.
