<P>As has been mentioned the LDS family data is usually not sourced and always
needs to be taken with a grain of Salt.</P>
<P>As for name spellings do not discount any spelling until you check it out
completely how a name is spelled depends on</P>
<P>who is writing the name down, what it sounded like to them and how well
educated they were.</P>
<P>I have been doing some research on my wifes Aumiller family and have even
found the name spelled Cubmiller and have one</P>
<P>Person that swears the name is spelled Aymiller and any other spelling is
in error.</P>
<P>By the way I have five Cooper's in my family but have not researched them
most are living and in Cottage Grove</P>
<P>But were from Polk County also have a Mathey from Switzerland.</P>
<P>Glen Jones</P>

<P>PS: Also beware of the old Broderbund software from when genealogy started
getting popular it had a lot</P>
<P>of errors.</P>
