I am wondering why the name spelling changed. Specifically sometime before 1850 when James Kightlinger moved to Wisconsin from Pennslyvania the spelling changed to Kitelinger. Does anyone know why? Was this something to do with James' parents divorce in 1844, Michael and Isabella Kightlinger divorce? Thanks
