Naming Conventions - (Given Names)

The names given to individuals have varied in spelling over the ages and I have used a standard English
spelling for all given name. 

e.g.  Ann or Susanna have been "standardised" to Anne and Susan

Names spelt in the Latin form in the original record have been Anglicised.

e.g. Carolus and Johan. have been changed to the English form Charles and John

Where "latinate" alternatives occur that may cause confusion the originally recorded form of the given name is listed alongside my standardised form.

e.g. Ellena, Maria or Dionysius are displayed on the website as Ellen (Ellena), Mary (Maria) and Dennis (Dionysius)
