Surname Interest Table
« on: Sunday 14 June 15 16:44 BST (UK) »
How do I post on that please, if there is a variation in the spelling of the Surname I'm after? 

For instance Goodwin seems to have morphed from Gooden.

Thanks

Hi,

I would think it would be alright to list both variations - notice there are other alternatives on the surnames interests table - such as Goodwins and Goodwyn.

Yes, Sandra is right.  Make two entries, and add a comment to each, "aka ... [the other]"
