Don't forget these spellings, too:Maerz, Merz, Metz.European spellings were quite different from their Americanized spellings.For example, Jakob instead of Jacob, Maria instead of Mary, Gertraud instead of Gertrude, Eugen instead of Eugene, etc.Therein lies one of the most perplexing problems in genealogical research.
