Variations of names can confuse genealogists and frustrate them to no end. Many of these spelling differences can be caused by the language barriers between the individual taking the information and the individual giving it. They can also be caused by transcription errors due to both the script of the time and "guessing" by the transcriber.
The following table is a list of the passengers on the 1738 voyage of the Robert & Alice from Rotterdam to Philadelphia via Dover, Eng. I have given the various spellings of individuals found in two texts. By reading across the columns you can see the spellings of each individual's name. If there is a blank, I couldn't find that individual at that particular list. My interest is with the Biffle/Buffel family from Contwig. The variations in the of this surname found in the Strassburger test are: Buffell, Phiel, Buliut, Beifle, Buffel.
