A basic error by some family researchers is to insist that their family name is spelled one way and one way only. My own ancestors found no less than 6 ways to spell Robison....Robertson, Robison, Robinson, Robson, Robrson (4th ggrandfather's gravestone), Roberson, Robeson...OK, that's 7. And there's probably a few others that I've overlooked.
Here's a blog from Megan Smolenyak (Did I spell that right?) that addresses this issue:
