Sometimes your ancestors are hard to find. Sometimes that's because they have the most awesome names, and no one writes them correctly. And for them, well, sometimes it's just fun to keep track of all the ways you find them along your research path.
So, without further ado and in no particular order, my top 10 favorite misspellings of Masonia Scott Worthen (ca.1863 - 1951)...so far!
1. Mason Scott
2. Missonie Worthen
3. Mesoni Worthen
4. Mrs. Maassonia Worthen
5. Masonia Worttn
6. Mrs. Massoria Worthen
7. Masonia Scoort
8. Mosorua Worthen
9. Mrs. Sonia Worthen (Maybe just her nickname?)
10. Masonia Walthen
Many thanks to all the census enumerators, city directory staffers, and others whose work contributed to this post!
