Spelling

(Pg 1)

Crossland spelling variations complicated
my research for several years!

*



The Variations:  There were several variations in the spelling of the Crossland surname.  Why?  Were they the same people?  Were they my ancestors?   (Pg 2)

Old English "s":  The Old English long (or leading) "s" character was used in Crossland renderings before around 1800.  It looked like a cursive "f" or "p".  How many legitimate records had I ignored because the spelling looked like Crofsland or Croplin, for example?  Quite a few, unfortuanately!  (Pg 3)

Spelling Explanations:  In the end, explanations for the spelling variations were obvious and simple.  (Pg 4)

Lessons Learned:  There were some!!  (Pg 5)
