Eish - good luck :-)

I have the same problem with the Nell/Nel side of my family, and I confess I don't mind living with the ambiguity. Records weren't always accurate in the past and, even now, mistakes are made on birth, baptism and death certificates quite regularly.

To illustrate the point, I recently noticed that the spelling of my grandmother's surname on her birth certificate is 'Nel', even though the spelling of the surname on her father's gravestone is 'Nell'. The different spellings *might* indicate different origins, although I feel it's unlikely. I feel the variations are more likely to be regional - or just differences in the way in which names were recorded over the years.

In short, if there's a concern about the spelling of Helm/Helms/Helmes/Hellems/Helmensz etc., I'd suggest that we just make a note of this discrepency on this ancestor's record - and cite the excellent examples given by June above.

Linda I do see that June has already answered as to the name HELM, HELMES, etc.

As for most records he is spelt HELM but somewhere this morning I have mentioned about the mispelled names in the earlier days in the Cape. This was purely due to the lack of education.

June I am going to answer the rest in Afrikaans, not to be misunderstood.

Linda dit is bewys dat die kosters van toentertyd en selfs met die Groot Trek nie so goed was met spelling nie. In my eie geval was my grootouma, net twee weg en ons is al die pad in die lyn met die name Judith Susanna Hendrika geseën. Haar nooiensvan, volgens haar vader se sterfkennis was STOLS, maar haar dokumente hier in die Transvaal is almal onder Stoltz. Dit het my 20 jaar en baie geld en tyd gevat voor ek op haar lyn kon aangaan. Eers toe ek haar vader se SK kry, kon ek tot bo gaan. Alles net oor verkeerde spelling.
Sommer net ter verduideliking.
That is the reason why we have already decided way backin 2007 that we will go with the more known and researched spelling of our ancestors and put the ALSO KNOWN AS in the column provided for that.
Mooi dag.

Dankie,aanvaar dit betreffende die bogenoemde.Maar in die spelling van name en vanne le daar meer opgesluit vir my spesifiek dan vanuit familienavorsing!

Dit is so Linda. Maar omrede hierdie so 'n wye en publieke navorsings projek is, probeer ons maar almal tevrede stel en gaan maar met die meerderheid se beslissings.
Self het ek 'n persoonlike familie leêr waar ek dit vir myself regmaak soos dit genealogies bedoel is. Hier was al te veel kere mense wat mekaar aan die keel wil gryp oor 'n naam.
Tog is Geni 'n wonderlike bron om baie meer mense en familie te leer ken.
Mooi dag.
Judi

So say we all! :-)
So se ons almal! :-)
