Before You Begin: 
Tips for Using the Catalogue of Names
Never dismiss a different spelling from your family's spelling until you have completely checked it out. I made that awful error years ago.
Any record keeper could have misspelled the name or two members of the same family may have decided to change the spelling. This happens more often than you think.
Not all entries come from original sources, which you should check whenever possible. Even these original sources can have errors when transcribed from another source (Example: a small church's transcripts hand copied to the Bishop's transcripts can show discrepancies and deletions, so check both!) Cemetery records & tombstones may not be the same. (Example: Tombstone: Henry Weick (correct) but records stated Henry Hick!   
I tried to copy the names as I found them. However, I get in a hurry sometimes.
If you see the name spelled incorrectly or it looks differently than it should, consider the error mine
