This is one of the advantages I love working with TMG. I can just do it my
way. I prefer to record names as I find them in the sources (or even if I
interpret what I found), others have another approach, and the software can
cope with that.

Greetings
Ralf

different spellings of Chilcote, but since they all connect, I have left the
spellings as I found them. Since I'm still new at this genealogy recording,
if I'm doing it wrong, it would be easier to correct it now than later.
