That is great news. While searching my husband's Great Great Grandfather through the census from 1850 through 1880, his name was spelled differently on each census. It went from Schwob to Swope, to Swoope, to Schwab. His given name was George Philip Swope, but sometimes he also went by Philip Swoope, Sr.

So remember to check different spellings, even if you think they are really bizarre. This has helped me tremendously.

P.S. I don't live that far from Perkasie. I live in Perkiomenville R.D. about 15 miles away.
