Are these names the same?

[hallmark]

There's so many variations...

[whiteout7]

Brigit Ann? Bridget Ann? Brigidann?

[myluck!]

They are all variations

At a time when literacy was low the person writing the record wrote what he heard unless told otherwise as a rule

For Catholics records were written in Latin

Even surnames took variations with a change of clery etc.

Thank you all for the information!

I am getting used to all the different ways names and surnames are spelled. I would have never found my great grandfather's bapitism record (Eugenius Kane) as I "knew" him as Eugene (and at times Owen) Keane.

Again, thanks for the help.
