Given Names

Given names were often spelled in many different ways by the priest or scribe recording them. Since a name can appear with several different spellings for a single person, it is necessary to standardize the spelling. Following is a list, in bold type, of some of the given names in Mission 2000 as they are spelled in the system. Variations, that appear in the old records but not in the system, are listed in normal type. When doing a search on any given name, it must be spelled as it is here in bold for the system to call it up.
