Spelling of names
I have a interest in etymology, in particular regarding family or surnames and how these are passed down through generations. I work on the theory that all those with the same surname (including spelling variants) share a common ancestor. I know this is not always the case, but this is why you may find what you see as misspellings, for example Stewart and Stuart, Milne, Mylne
Locations
I try to use the name of the location as it was at the time a particular ancestor was associated with it, and to spell it in the language of that location, if they use a Western alphabet. I have also tried to identify the names of individual kingdoms which existed before the UK
