I would send them to a Transcriber and enter them all as Butterbur! Lol Seriously though, I have always followed the convention that I use the spelling in the earliest record, which, of course, is normally the name recorded on the birth record . Then any variations they used would be put into their notes. I have 9 variations of my Surname in 12 generations, so there is no definitive spelling that I can claim as yet. |

I'd put them as potter but with a note saying which name they took on when married. |
