   [Note:The names are wrong because the person who was copying
   the record from the micro flim to Database records could not read it and they guess at what it said...this happens a lot...also names were spelled different because a person was taught to spell how ever the name sounded to the one who was teaching, there was no set spelling until just a few years ago... --Dlbradley1 22:57, 21 August 2008 (EDT) ]
