I'm doing land deed records. I've run across entries that say something like Schrader or Schroeder. Do I make two separate entries or just one Surname entry using the infor Schrader or Schroeder.

    I would make only one entry and type it as Schr*der, The researchers looking for a surname like that will see it and make their own decision on the spelling.The term or in a surname or given name listing is used when a person is known by 2 different names, either given or surname.
